Ah, I forgot it was fermenting and would be different reading on the refractometer, I'm nearing the end of 7 night shifts, don't think to clearly on nights, missus reckon's it's not just nights, bloody smart arse. I,ll redo the reaings refract and hydro, in the meantime Ive ramped it back up to...

Thanks all for the replies I did a refractometer reading and its reading 1.022, seems a little high? so I'll take another reading when I get home in the morning. If it shows its finished fermenting, I'll drop the temp gradually to 2c and leave it in secondary another 2 months. Then I'll bottle...
