The quoted sg is just a base... It could well be that your hydrometer is not properly calibrated, r that fermentation has finished, and there isn't any further fermentable sugars left to ferment out...

Made it up to 20L - the sg was 1060 ! so added more water to get it down to 1050. Still going to be around 5% according to the calculator.10 days min fermenting & see what it gets down to. .... to be continued.
