Beer stopped fermenting after 2 days, advice please

[silkyuk9]

never had this problem before, my beer was brewing away nicely for 2 days then just checked it today and the fermentation has stopped, its still quite sweet so im thinking the yeast has died.

what can i do??

If i need some more brewing yeast i cannot get any for a few days,however, this may be a stupid question but, I have some yeast in the cupboard that i use for making bread, is this an option to use? if so how much?

I dont want this to go to waste, why would it just suddenly stop fermenting?

i was using a youngs bitter kit, i added 500g of enhancer and 1/2kg sugar, and a few extra ingreidients such as crystal and goldings (stock used after boiling up)

Oh, alright; I'm being facetious!
