Should we re-pitch the yeast? Beer has been sitting in the mid-70's, and was made from a beginner's kit.
The hydrometer sinks right to the bottom.....doesn't float. Is it broken?
Ok, I tested the hydrometer in water and it read 1.000. I took a sample of our brew and it read 1.100. This was after we transfered to the carboy from the bucket & topped up with water.
Oh, and by the way. We did taste the beer after the test, and it tasted OK, and slightly alcoholized.
No hydrometer reading, and it was a basic paint-by-numbers kit with LME, corn sugar, spaymalt & yeast.

Ah 'tis sad to be a noob!!! I will take your advice, Revvy, and brew from a kit.
