Repitch another sachet of yeast - get it to 20c and give it a gentle stir with a sterilised paddle :thumb:

brewing yeast

What temp is it at currently? I doubt it's a true lager yeast that has been supplied so you will want to ferment at ale yeast temps 18 - 20c

 

[xtownerx]

bang on 23c

 

[Wez]

Hmm, to kick fermentation off thats a good temp, ideally lower it a little if you can once it's going :thumb:

 

[xtownerx]
