question about FG

[tonictone]

I'm doing a Geordie Scottish Export Kit at the moment with 500gsm of brewing sugar and 500 gsm of medium spraymalt.

It's been fermenting know for 8 days and the gravity is 1010 and has been for a couple of days. The instructions say it should ferment down to 1005.

Should I try and get the gravity down to this, I have roused the sediment yesterday, but no movement on the gravity. If I should get the FG down how or what is the best way?

If 1010 is OK for a final gravity, when I bottle should I use 1 teaspoon of sugar to 1 litre bottles or reduce this as the FG is higher than it should be (meaning the beer is sweeter at 1010 than 1005)?

Thanks Daab, I didn't know that using different forms of sugar would alter the final gravity.

So I can just bottle as normal using 1 teaspoon to 1 litre ratio?

Sounds similar to what I got - same kit. I dry hopped with cascade (about an ounce which is a little too bitter but still nice). My FG was 1010/1012 but now it's at 1006 after secondary. This was after using spray malt too.
