Should I rack or wait

[Undone]

Brewing our first brew a Brewers Best Irish Stout.
The FG has been at 1.020 (68 degrees) for the past week. The instructions state it should be at 1.011 - 1.014. The SG started at 1.050 Any suggestions?

Thanks

Raise the temp a little bit if you can and "rouse" the yeast back into suspension by swirling the fermenter around. Leave it for a few days and see if the SG drops anymore. If that doesn't work you might want to pitch some dry yeast like US-05 to get it going again.

Lots of people have a problem getting extract kits to finish below 1.020. Do the yeast rousing suggested above, warm it up a little (maybe 5 degrees max) and check it in a few days. If it hasn't changed, bottle it.
