funny fermentation

[cheschire]

I know I can get my answer by taking a hydrometer reading, but I'm lazy and at my girlfriends house. So heres how it goes. I pitched my yeast and about 4 hours later in very aerated wort it crazily fermented with krausen and swirling beer but only for about 12 hours then died down and now its only been "airlock bubbling" every 15 minutes or so. Its been 5 days. Do you think my fermentation is stuck or is it still slowly working away?
Im just looking for some quick thoughts. I'll take some hydro readings eventually.


EDIT: the beer is an extract version of biermuncher's "your witn-ness" boosted up to 5%

The only way to really tell is to take that hydro reading my friend. Has the krausen settled into the brew?

+1 to taking a hydrometer reading... anything else is the equivalent of witchcraft or astrology.

Yeesh. You need to scrub those hands and soak them in Star San for about an hour before you start brewing anything again.
