That seems like an awful lot of brown sugar and treacle.

your saying to much, so i need stronger yeast?

If it's down to 1.010 then it's done. Your yeast is strong enough to have fermented the sugars. Probably needs resting for a bit now to get the flavours to settle in to each other.

Will you be bottling it or kegging it?

thank you Guypettigrew ,bottling 500ml priming each bottle, just dry hoping for a few days, have taken your advise ,cheers

I've used that høg norsk yeast twice now and neither went below 1.012 so my guess is you're probably done with fermenting.

I'm saying that much brown sugar and treacle will give you a sweet tasting beer no matter what yeast you use. At 1.010 it is done.

Once it's carbonated that should cut through the sweetness a bit

[mark14]
