I made up my own batch of ipa. And I don't know what the finel gravity should be.
It started at a 1.070 and it is at a 1.026 and still bubbling every 50 sec.
So should I shake it up to get the yeast going so I can get a ft at 1.013
 
Just let it go. Most beer will take a week or two to really ferment out. As long as the gravity is dropping leave it alone. 1.026 and still bubbling shut the door don't check it for a week. It won't go bad.
 
One of the best IPAs I have ever had is actually a local brew here in Charleston from Westbrook. Anyone else ever had it? I would love to be able to make something similar.
 
Assuming you pitched a proper amount of yeast into an aerated wort, the yeast are just going to do their thing.

BTW - 1.013 would be 81% attenuation. That may or may not be realistic depending on the yeast strain and grain bill.

What's your recipe, process (mash temps, ferm temps, etc) and the yeast you used? Knowing that, we'd be able to ballpark your target FG.
