Sweet tasting beer

[stp78]

This is my first go at brewing beer andwhat I did was bottle 8 Pints and put the rest in a keg (32 pints),But think I got my sugar calculation wrong I put in 65gramms of sugar on the thinking that I would need 2gramms per pint (85g / 40pints = 2.125g X 32 = 68g).

Is this calculation wrong???

The maths sounds right, did you measure your Final Gravity or just bottled / kegged when it seemed to have finished?

Just bottled and keg when it had seem to have finished.

The bottled stuff is fine just the stuff in the keg that is sweet.

Have both your bottles and keg been conditioning in the same place? If the keg has been in too cold a location it might not have had a chance to ferment out. If you can bring it into the house for a week or so and see how you get on.

Has been in the garage for 22 days.

I will bring it back in the house for a week and see if that works.

Any other advice welcome.

But 2 grams per pint, or 3.5g per litre, would only give an SG rise of .001, so I fail to see how an average mortal would taste the difference.
