Hi, Did you take a reading at the start, if so what was that, and did you use the yeast that came with the kit or a different yeast?

well it's only around 3.3% at the moment with 58% attenuation, you need more than that, you may want to look at the fermenting temp, if you have it somewhere too cool it may jump back into action?

Great link here

Rouse it gently but thoroughly, keep it a bit warmer. It'll get down another 5 points or so eventually.
