Certainly going to buy an O2 setup, and get a reading on my fermentation temps, I bet it was a little low, I am turning my thermostat up a bit :-) good an excuse as any right???, I used the only bucket without an LCD thermometer on it (can't wait to get a "Beer Bug")

Just curious where you found out about the "beer bug". a co-worker of mine works at that company. didn't think it was near production.

At this point I would do what ever it takes. Sure, it may taste a bit "bread-y" but throwing it out is bad too. I once had a batch stick so badly that I took the entire batch and reheated it to about 50C/180F. I was just at the end of the rope here. So, I cooked the yeast to death then re-pitched again. I added two yeast packs and one yeast nutrient and I shook the hell out of my conical fermenter.
Miracle that it actually worked. I can't say it was the best beer I ever drank but it was passable.

I named it Resurrection Ale. I hope I never have to do it again.

In the end it restarted pretty quickly, I just added the high gravity yeast, and some sugar, but forgot that I hadn't checked the gravity when it stalled.... it was fine in the end, I haven't finished primary, let alone the several months of secondary, but.... this should be some awesome beer.
