Ahoy mateys,
So I have had this puppy fermenting for going on 2 weeks now. It started at 1.09 (I know that's a little high but it's been done before).
Anyway, I decided to take a peek a few days ago and it was 1.03. This morning I went back and stirred/degassed it and took another reading and it was still 1.03.
Assuming that the bakers yeast had failed me. I decided to get some EC1118 out of the fridge and put it in a 200ml of water with 2 teaspoons of sugar at around 35 degrees.
Left it for 15 minutes till it was bubbling and then stirred it into the wash and went to bed. (On night shift at the moment).
Woke up this afternoon and there was froth going everywhere in the fermenter.
So there's a lesson. When Bakers fails you, grab something different.
