Hi, first time posting here. I am making a colony west lemonade at the moment. I added 2kg of dextrose at the start. OG was around 1040. Been fermenting for about 8 days at 30 degrees. Checked 2 days ago and again today and gravity reading is still around 1020. Is this normal for it or should I give it another week?
 
When you have a stable gravity reading over about 3 days you should be ok to bottle.

Do they predict a Final SG?
It still seems quite high at the moment though it may have some non-fermentable sugars in it to maintain the sweetness.

Yeah, I think they say 1006. Would adding 2kg of dextrose instead of 1 make a difference
