I just bottled my first brew. It was an AG Dry Stout. My OG was high at 1.059. I let it sit in the primary for 3 weeks at 62 degrees, and today the FG was 1.030. Don't know if I should have bottled, but I did anyway. During this brew I made a few mistakes, but nothing too bad. I'm sure the high FG has a little to do with my high mash temp. (158), but shouldn't it have finished a lot lower? Another mistake I made was I didn't check the gravity for a couple of days to make sure it was finished. Today, when I bottled was the first time I took the lid off the bucket since it went on. I guess I just figured that after 3 weeks it should have been done. Any advice on what to do next time this happens? I'm just gonna let this one bump in the bottles for a few weeks, it tasted pretty good, just flat at bottling time.
