So on 3/14 I brewed a Belgian Wit with an OG of 1052, and it is still showing signs of active fermentation, I tested the G today and its 1028, any thoughts as to why its going so slow. Temp has been right around 67F
 
Try giving the carboy a gentle swish. Depending on the yeast, it may just be that the yeast settled too early to finish the job. A gentle swish can re-suspend the yeast and get them working again.
 
did you use a starter?...im guessing no which is why its lagging. Unless you used dry yeast in which case i have no idea. Just let it finish- good beer takes time
