I brewed my second batch of beer two weeks ago. It is a Ruthless Rye Ipa clone I found on beer smith. (http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/64276/sierra-nevada-ruthless-ipa-clone-byo) I brewed 2 Sundays ago. I nailed the estimated OG 1.061. I transfer into a secondary fermenter on the following Friday(5days). I had seen little activity in the secondary (no bubbles). I bottled on the next Wednesday(10days) assuming i was done fermenting. After bottling i realized i hadn't checked my gravity so i opened a bottle and checked. The gravity was 1.022.(with priming sugar) That seems really high. The recipe calls for a FG of 1.012. I popped a bottle last night to see how carbonation levels are and its still pretty flat, no bottle bombs yet. I am wondering what i should do. I have tried to find similar posts but haven't had any luck. Should i pour the bottles back into a fermenter and wait a few weeks or just keep an eye on the bottles as they progress. Is there any chance this FG is ok for this type of yeast. (Safale American)
Other notes are:
-the recipe was converted by my local brew shop so i could do a partial mash
-there were 2.5 oz of hop pellets dry hopped in the second fermentation.(5days)
Thanks for your help
