Just tested it again for fun. Gravity is still at 1.025. I stirred it VERY gently last week. Should I consider pitching some dry yeast, or just leave it for a couple more weeks and call it done.

I added some Coopers dry yeast yesterday, I'll test the Gravity again in a week.

Well there was nothing I could do to get the FG down, so I bottled it. It was obviously not fermented out to what I should have been, and fairly sweet, but definitely good. I haven't had any bottle bombs, so it wasn't stuck fermentation.
Oh well, live and learn. I only have about 5 bottles of it left now.
I'm also using only liquid yeast with a starter now with much better results.
