High FG in my JSAA clone

Gday fellas,
Have recently put down an attempt at a JSAA clone using a recipe of this forum (cheers) on the 31st Jan '07 using;
-Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale 1.7kg
-Morgans Amber Malt Extract 1.5kg
-Approx 70 g ECM
-5-10 g Williamette hops (10 min boil)
-Safale yeast

The OG was 1.046 (which i thought seemed low) and is now currently sitting at about 1.012. This seems to high to me but if im wrong please sort me out! It hasn't suffered from any low temps and has probably been brewing a bit to high at around 25-26.

Cheers

1012 FG should be about right for the amount of malt you have used.

Agree, 1012 looks fine. If it is still that on the weekend, then bottle.

Cheers,
Greg

And just to rub it in, 1012 is done i say! If you are unsure, just deliberatley under prime, so that it can naturally carbonate!

quick comment cos i have read several recipes on this site for JSAA - the website says its made form 3 types of malt and three types of tasmanian hops added late in the boil (read aroma and maybe a touch of flavour).

Anyone know which hops to use?
