I'm a bit unsure if I should bottle or not. This is the first brew I've done where I haven't reached the FG I expected. Having said that, my OG seems higher than usual.
I've stuck to the instructions (almost!) and used the bundled S-04 yeast.
It's just about reached 1.014 (possibly 1.015) when the instructions say it should reach less than 1.014. I've done some reading on these forums and it seems everyone does reach <1.014. I did however almost always keep it below the recommended 18-21C... closer to 17-18C. Despite it staying at 1.014 for 5 days should I consider leaving it longer? I'm planning on transferring it to a second FV today just to help reduce the amount of sediment at the final bottling so I wouldn't be bottling for another day or two anyway.
Attached is my OG, dates and temps.
Thanks for any help.
