Advice needed

I put my beer into a fridge I adapted for fermentation , it’s had two weeks which ended yesterday , short version temp has probably been 12-14 c when recipe said 22 c - is this batch failed or can I do something to save it ?

I drew a bit of liquid off and gravity has changed from 1.040 to 1020 , seemed to be sediment /Bits and liquid is cloudy - any ideas ?

Need more info really on what beer,grain bill etc.
If it's a standard ale type it could be just slow due to temp. Can you put it up to 18-20?

yes - I put it up , actually it was I think due to the probe location . It’s an ale , patersbiere , Belgium malt

Warm it up to 20c if possible and see if it finishes lower

After 6 days abv is around 1.018 / 7 - , is it worth giving it longer to see if it gets closer to 1.010 ?

I don't know what that style of beer ferments out to but take a reading over the next two days and if it is still 1.018 then it probably won't go any lower and is ready to bottle, good luck and happy brewing.

Thanks for all the advice

End ABV, should have been 1:010
