Nothing. SG hasn't even moved. I've determined it must be an aeration problem but as the internet sites warn me this is bad after fermentation has occurred. Shook the carboy hoping would get something, all i got was a bunch of foam and beer in the airlock. Decided to shake it good for about a minute then do the beer thief and let er rest.
After some more reading this site says if SG is around 1.02 or below, tough love. http://www.bodensatz.com/staticpages/index.php?page=Fermentation-FAQ#stuck_ferm

OK, shook the heck out of it, thought the top was going to blow off but it didn't. Filled the hydrometer again and cleansed the airlock. Will let it sit and see. There was a mass of bubbles covering the very top of the beer, seems to be steady, will see what happens. I think the whole cause of this is either the cool temps, or too little aeration in the wort. Thinking if nothing happens then going to bottle.
