I have documented this problem on the Beer Kit review page but thought I would seek help in a specific post.
Brew Details:
Youngs BrewBuddy Bitter, original SG 1.042. After ten days at 20C it had come down to 1.020 with no signs of life. Left it a couple more days and no movement so I pitched some more yeast (6g Gervin added to about 400ml of boiled and cooled water/sugar solution and mixed it in well. Covered with clingfilm and let it kick off. Yeast started bubbling away and formed a nice big head, when it was ready for overflowing out the glass I added to the FV). This unfortunately didn't get things moving so yesterday I cracked the lid and gave the beer a gentle stir, making sure I disturbed the trub and mixed it through the beer.
This doesn't seem to have done the trick either so I am now at a loss of how to get this back on track.
Any other advice?
