I brewed Yooper's Dead Guy Clone (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/dead-guy-clone-extract-ag-see-note-25902/) 2 weeks ago today. Everything went great during the brew except my OG finished at 1.08 instead of 1.066. I didn't think much of it, assuming after all, this is extract and it mayyyy not be mixed well. Anywho, i rehydrated Safale 05 and pitched at ~65 degrees. Fermentation started overnight and had nice bubbling in the airlock that lasted about 11 days at an average 63 degrees..
I was leaving town on the 11th day so I just figured I'd let it sit another 3. I arrive home today, there were no bubbling (i know this isn't how you should tell if fermentation has stopped--Hydro for 3 consecutive days, but i figure 14 days instead of 10 and at 63 degrees instead of 60 it should be done) clean my secondary, etc, and transfer.
I took a hydro reading during this time and it's at 1.022... -_- and it is a tad bit sweet even though I over-hopped. Now it's sitting in secondary at 63 degrees and I'm not sure what i should expect from it. I assume it still has enough yeast to continue fermentation if it is in fact not finished, but if not i have some extra notty around. This is only my 3rd brew and am just looking for some input on how to get the FG down and take that awful sweetness out.
Thanks for your time
