I checked the SG on my IPA on day 9 when I was dry hopping it and it was 1.025. 5 days later it is still at 1.025. It actually tastes really good already, I'm not tasting any excessive sweetness (like I did on my previous batch that finished high). This might be because the high IBUs are balancing the sweetness. The target final gravity is 1.017 so it's quite a ways off. Is it possible it could be finished at such a high FG?
The yeast is US05. I fermented at 18C (64.5F). I raised the temp to 20C (68F) after day 9. It's a partial mash and mash temp was 65.5C (150F). OG was 1.064. Full recipe here.
I'm definately going to leave it another week before I cold crash it and I've given the fermenter a little swirl in an attempt to rouse the yeast. But what if SG is still 1.025 in another week? Will it be safe to bottle?
