Just made a sweet stout for the first time. I boiled off more wort than I meant to (plus there was a drip from the spigot on my new brew kettle). So my intended OG was 1.059, but ended up being 1.072. After fermenting for 11 days at 68 degrees, my last reading was 1.030 (goal was 1.018).
For anyone who has brewed this style, is that acceptable? I can always wait several more days, but not sure if the gravity will drop that much more - unless of course I pitch some more yeast...

Thanks in advance for any thoughts
 
Just noticed - the goal FG was 1.018, not 1.01 smiley face with shades.
