I get 1.058 from this calculator.

It should be printed on your hydrometer what the standardised temperature of your instrument is most are 20 degrees C
Either works as you've since been told. 1.058 is a good OG for a beer, should get 5 - 6%. It will be interesting to see how bitter this ends up as the lower gravity of the boil will have increased your hop utilisation, but probably not by a massive amount, and time will mellow it.@Zephyr259 so basically I've just had a low efficiency... If I took a reading in the FV and it was at 1.058 at 23 liters does this mean I should of taken a reading before topping up and topped up until I hit my target OG instead of worrying about volume?

Currently, yes. Is your airlock still bubbling away?So after two weeks I've taken a FG and it's at 1.020 when it should be 1.012... Fermentation has seemed like it's been going alright, bubbler bubbling away. Think it needs more time?

A gentle rousing and a bit more temp sounds like a fair plan to help out finish.Going to swirl it a tad and raise the temps it's been at 18 degrees for the past two weeks..
