Anyone online now can answer this?

I have a woodfordes nelson revenge in the FV. It was started Friday.
The original hydrometer reading was a 1040. Just tested again it is now 1014.
There is no foam or bubbling.
I have some yeast vit, is it worth nudging it along with a bit? How much should I put in?

I would say that was about right, a stuck ferment is usually in the range 1022 to 1020, IMO 1014 is none too shabby :D

Thats good to hear, I've just checked my Coopers Real ale, Started at 1044, down to 1010 now and seems to have stopped, I thought I might get it down to around 1006 but it looks unlikely. tastes really good, think it should be great after a month or so in the barrel outside. :D
