Both my hydrometers reading exactly 1.000 in water Was going to batch prime but suppose there's no harm in shoving it into secondary for a bit and cabling bottles now you mention it.

It is a little sweet but not overly. But you're maybe onto something with the hydrometer. I'm only really getting impatient because I only have 1 FV and a bottling bucket and I'm desperate to get my Evil Dog DIPA in 💦
