Well, it turns out that re-pitching yeast worked. I got my FG down to 1.017 so I've now bottled labeled and am patiently waiting to try it in a week or so. Thanks for all the advice.

Great advice! Many thanks! So if I need to pitch more yeast do you recommend a specific amount?

Thanks for the advice - I have warmed it up to 68 and thereabouts by bringing it upstairs. Would you suggest I wait a week and take another gravity reading. Should I expect to see any bubbling when I warm it up? The yeast I pitched was bought from a brew supply store and I kept it in my...
