I was due to bottle my Brewferm Abbey kit on Christmas eve. Last Saturday I took a hydrometer reading which came out at 1022, the recommended fg is 1010, after consulting with the guys on Jim's Beer Kit the bottling has been postponed.
The fermentation has stuck probably because I've allowed the temperature of the beer to fall to 15c at the last check.
I've moved my bin to a warmer room and wrapped it up in a pretty pink dressing gown.
If this allied to a little, gentle, agitation doesn't work then I'll have to pitch some more yeast.
I'm definitely going to invest in a fish tank heater before I start my next brew, this should allow me to keep things at a decent and consistent temperature.
This is only my third brew and the first time I've had this problem - I wonder whether this is because I have 9litres in a 22 litre bin making it hard to maintain liquid temperature?
