Stuck Fermentation?

[chazzb]

Hi, I put a brew in 8 days ago, OG 1.056 and it's been stuck at 1.022 for the past few days. I noticed the temperature had dropped to 17C and that my yeast (WYeast London III) has a range of 18-23. I was hoping to drop it down to 1.014-1.016 before priming and bottling.

I'm wondering whether sticking it in front of a radiator to bring up the temperature will rescue the fermentation or whether it's an indication of a problem?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Try getting it a bit warmer. You may need to rouse the yeast as well.

I agree with OldSpeckledBadger, don't be afraid to give your yeast a gentle stir to get them back into suspension again and warm up the brew.

Cheers
