Is my yeast stuck?


Just got into Home brewing again after a break of about 10ish years, I brewed my 2nd batch, a Belgin Sasion on Sunday night and the OG was 1.077. I am using Wyeast 3724, which I did prep with a starter on Saturday afternoon, so about 30 hours later. I had a good start of Krausen when I checked on the beer Monday morning before work, about 8 hours after pitching the yeast with a temp of about 78 F. However on Tuesday I noticed that Krausen was about the same or a little smaller and there wasn't alot of actively from the airlock, and by tonight, Wednesday the Krausen is gone, as you can see in the linked photo. I checked what the Gravity is and it is at 1.058 @ 76 F this recipe should have a target of 1.016.I don't know if I am just panicking and everything is fine, but the first batch I did of an American Pale Ale with S-05 had a big Krausen and kept it for 5-6 days before it started to fall in. Eyeballing this batch and it seems like the yeast gave up the ghost and went home. I am planing on taking another reading tomorrow morning and seeing if the Gravity has changed, if it hasn't and I'm not hopefully at this point that it will what are my options? I live in Central FL so if heating it up is the solution that isn't a problem, I can just put the fermenter out in my Garage overnight and that will rise it to the mid 80s. I also have a pack of Voss Kveik yeast in my fridge that I was planing on using for a Blue Moon clone this weekend, I could warm that up and pitch that in. Any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated! via /r/Homebrewing https://ift.tt/2O3h4WJ
