Different yeast, the water tastes good, i sanitize with star san at the recomended dose, I have used different fermentation vessals for each brew as well.

Upon further inspection i measured the temp of the actual beer (the temp on the outside stayed between 64-66) and the beer came in between 60-62 so i assume what i am tasting is yeast that were stopped due to it being to cold. I have since moved my beers upstairs and put a blanket over it. As i said in previous posts its been 2 weeks so my question is this. Have the yeast died or have they just gone dormant? What should i do from here? Repitch yeast or wait it out for a few days and try the beer again?

I doubt the yest have died. You can even put them in the fridge and they wont die. 60-62 should still be ok for many yeast strains to be active.

Yeast are resilient little things. It takes a lot more to kill them. When you raise the temperature, they should kick right back up...hopefully.

Should i give the yeast sedimint a stir? or just let it go? I walked it from my brew space downstairs to my bedroom upstairs (my wife REALLY loves my hobby now :S) would that have been enough movement to get them going again?

I'd just let it go. Whenever I walk my carboy it tends to kick up a nice cloud of sediment.
