high final gravity
my last 3 brews were 1.025-1.030final gravity
#1 .5 micron pure oxegen diffusion
#2 3 days yeast starter on a striring plate
#3 pitched @ 70 .0 * 12 hour co2 lag and strong for 96 hrs
#4 2 week @ same final gravity
What can be done to get the final gravity down beer is good but a little sweet

A few questions. If you are mashing, what is the temperature of your saccharification rest? How long does it take to convert? What is your OG?

There's your three issues.
If you want to make beers in that range, mash at 148-150

mash temp very high, making an unfermentable wort, lower it to the low to mid 150's.
