See what I did there? Anyway, seems my fermentation is a but stuck. Took a gravity reading last week and tonight with no movement (only about half way to the end goal). I've tried warming up a few degrees and have given some gentle swirls, however, to no avail. Any thoughts? Also, I pitched...

I brewed the Midnight Milk Stout extract kit from Monster Brew. Seemed enticing enough. Brew day went mostly well, though the OG was at 1.030, when the instructions said it should have been near 1.042. I wasn't really equipped at the time to figure out how to fix it, and the beer I was...
