Hi FG Willams double stout extract kit

[deaton83]

For my 2nd brew I did a kit from Willams Brewing WILLIAM'S DOUBLE STOUT @ Williams Brewing

SG was 1.990 and should of been 1.680

After four weeks it's at 1.440.

Should I add more yeast? Shake the yeast up a little? Or age in the keg?

Thanks for the help, I am still very green at homebrew.

Depending on the yeast you used you will likely get 73 - 75% attenuation, so if your SG was 1.099 then your FG should be 1.024 - 1.026. It looks like you have a little farther to go. What I do to get yeast back into suspension, is tilt my fermenter on edge and roll it around a few times. You dont need to shake it. Also, dont know what temp your fermenting at, but you could try raising your temp a little to help get it active.

You might also consider adding a yeast nutrient/energizer. Some are formulated to give a push to sluggish or stuck fermentations.
