Started brewing my first batch last weekend...

1.7kg Coopers Pale Ale can,
1kg Brewers Extract 3,
11g Voss Kveik

It's been fermenting at ambient temperature in the garage approx 24-26C for 5 days.
OG was 1.040, days 4 and 5 have both given an SG of 1.014.

I worry the OG read is a little low and the SG is a little high.
My first concern was that i'd reheidrated the yeast at too high a temp - around 35C.
I've also just read that maltodextrin doesn't ferment as well (200g out of the 1kg enhancer).

Anything i should be doing or if i get a third read of 1.014 tonight should i go ahead and bottle?
Cheers
 
Yeast hydration was fine.
You're right, maltodextrin doesn't ferment well (hardly at all). I'm no expert with kveik yeast but with 65% attenuation where there is maltodextrine and malt extract, I would say your kit is finished.
Bottle it when you're ready.
