Hey guys, bran new here but I've been lurking for a bit. My girlfriend and I just started our first brew together about 11 days ago. We started out with a brewers best scottish ale kit that only came with 3.3 lbs of amber LME and 1.1 lbs of DME. We decided to add another 6.6 lbs of amber LME of the same brand to add some alcohol and flavor (which I now know that a starter would have made a world's of difference). The kit came with the standard nottingham wyeast in a packet.
Ok, so now for the questions. I just racked it into the secondary on day eleven. The starting OG was at 1.068 and the reading today was around 1.028. Temperature has always been between 70 and 71F. I plan on waiting a few weeks to bottle, however I'm wondering if the gravity remains at 1.028 would it be too high to bottle? Or does this even matter after three weeks? And if so, could I possibly use less priming sugar to supplement the unfinished fermentation? Sorry if this has been covered, tried to run a search but couldn't get an exact answer to my specific batch. So far the scotch ale has an awesome taste without any sweetness.
