My OG was 1.048. When I went to switch to a secondary about 2 weeks after primary my SG was about 1.028. I can't remember... I didn't right it down because I was mad.

I bought all of the ingredients and brewing go delayed... by a couple of months.... I made a starter and it didn't seem to have much yeast floating around, but I used it anyway.

Do you think I would be able to just add a new smack pack and save the beer? I tried stirring it when I was going to rack it and nothing happened. I keep the beer in my basement but the temps don't fall too low. At least when I have checked them. Maybe over nights it gets too cold?

I have brewed this recipe before without any problems. I also haven't changed anything in the way I brew. The only variable was the older yeast. Any help would be appreciated.

It's probably just old yeast. If rousing the yeast didn't do anything I'd add some fresh yeast to it. You should be fine.

So you saw that fermentation wasn't complete and still racked it to the secondary? I'll never know why people do that. Secondaries are for aging (maybe clearing, but that can be argued), dry hopping and souring. You should never rack a beer to the secondary if you think that it is not done fermenting.

That being said, adding a large amount of fresh yeast should un-stick your stuck fermentation.

I never racked to secondary. I was going to, took a reading and saw it wasn't finished fermenting. I stirred it up to resuspend yeast and left it in the primary. No action on airlock.
