That may or may not be dry; clinitest is a better test for the
completion of fermentation. I'm surprised at your TA if it went
through MLF, but if it tastes good leave well enough alone. I would
suspect this might taste tart, especially if you try it at 65 or 70 F.
Cooler temperatures seem to mask tartness.

My basement is around 66F
I tasted it.. and it was not tart...

My TA is .675... what would you expect it to be??

0.675 usually tastes tart to me unless there is some sugar left in it.
Those are good numbers, if it tastes good leave it be. I was surprised
that the pH went up a little but the TA stayed around the same even
after ML. Fermentation can create some acid too so maybe it makes
sense, but i would have expected it to go down by 0.1% or so.
