    Austin Dry Stout.
    OG = 1.058
    After 2 weeks: 1.025
    After week 3: 1.025

    Decided to bottle.

    What can I expect?
    Probably more like a sweet stout?

    Let it condition on the bottles for like a month. Should be nice.

    It will definitely be sweeter. Probably couldn't classify it as a dry stout, but it's still beer, right? :mug:

    How'd it taste before you bottled it?

    With an OG of 1.058,it should've gotten lower then that. Sounds like it stalled out. Did you try swirling up some yeast & warming it a little?

    That's kind of high, only 58% apparent attenuation, my concern would be bottle bombs...........

    What yeast, temp, recipe, mash temp or extract? Also, was this reading with a hydrometer or refractometer?

    Using a hydrometer is good,but knowing what the numbers mean is the key.

    Why? The FG has been steady for a week.

    Just because the hydrometer hasn't moved, doesn't mean it is done. It may be stalled out. I agree with the previous poster and ask again: did you try swirling and raising the temperature up incrementally? Anything with an FG that high could easily make bottle bombs. I am fermenting a batch now that after 5 days the hydrometer stalled, and I warmed it up to 70* F and my fermentation restarted. Not by much, but my FG did drop.
