I made a Belgian Dubblel ~12 days ago and had an OG of 1.069. I foolishly moved the beer over when the krausen dropped instead of checking with a hydrometer.

Monday the gravity was 1.024.
Today the gravity is 1.022.
My goal is 1.016.

It is more sweet than I would like right now...

Should I just keep waiting and RDWHAHB?
Should I add more yeast? From reading it won't do too much at this point.
Should I dryhop it some?

Thanks guys.
 
I always get flamed for this but.....

I wish I could just magically erase any and all mention of a secondary fermenter from any brewing literature that a prospective new brewer may read. I've tried soooo many f'd up first-beers because some book told the guy he HAS to move the beer off the yeast after a week or the evil autolysis boogieman will rear his ugly head and make your beer taste like beef or soap or whatever.... </end rant>
