OK, I think I have a stuck fermentation. I brewed a partial grain Surly Cynic on Thursday 1/16. The next morning I had a good steady fermentation going, but the temperature was a bit low for the yeast at 65 degrees (Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes 65-85 degrees). Before leaving town for the weekend I turned the heat up in the basement to bring those temps up. Unknowingly, the wife went in after and turned the heat down. When we got home I checked the beer and no activity, the temp was down to 62 degrees.
I have begun to bring the temp back up now, should I attempt to agitate the yeast too and if so how do I do so? The beer is in a bucket not a carboy.
