Thanks for the advice everyone, will give it a stir and try and warm it up a bit, and will take another hydrometer test at the weekend to see how it is getting on. Hopefully the I can get it into the barrel to sit there ready for Christmas.

Thanks for the advise. The brew is Woodforde's Norfolk Nog. The yeast was put in at 26C and left in a warmer part of the house, and it has slowly lost heat and now sits at a steady 17C, as you can see we dont have our house that warm. The hydrometer reading at the start was 1040, and is now...
