After two weeks, temperature is probably not as important as it was the first few days (yeast/beer dependent). Try warming it slowly to keep the yeast active as long as possible.
What was the original gravity? What was your grain bill? What yeast did you use? What temp are you fermenting at?
It helps to just kind of know what is up to help you. Your yeast could be done, it could be too warm or too cold, your grain bill will help people to see if the yeast is likely done and knowing what yeast will tell us the preferred temp, whether it flocculates high - low, and the attenuation.
Details = answers, most of the time.
Please tell me there's a typo in that grainbill. Did you seriously use Carapils for 76% of your grainbill? That's supposed to be the Pale Ale malt. Carapils is largely unfermentable. That would definitely explain why your fermentation is stalling out. It's consumed all the fermentables, and you're left with a ton of unfermentable sugars. I'm afraid it's done.
Okay so was your OG 1.068? Or what was it? What is the gravity now?
Between the two, using S-04 with a attenuation of about 75%, maybe it is done. Pony up those two numbers and we can tell you if it is done.
+100! Gravity will tell the story here. The correct grain bill would help, too.
It just dawned on me two weeks into fermentation. I can definitely tell that it's under attenuating (no air lock activity, smaller krausen and trub than normal).
Any fixes to help finish fermentation?
Right on! The OG was 1.068.
I realize I have not provided a current gravity reading as I have not taken one yet. I also know that I may be speculating that there may be a problem. Too much thinking happens when you have an hour commute.
