Hi Micheal,
u must consider the brew that u have made , Stout with dark malt and golden
cyrup. A verey high starting s.g. of 1058 .It will not ferment much lower
than 1012.
@ that your Stout will be over 6% alc/vol .
U have not killed the yeast , yeast will live as high as 34C . and go
dormant if stored in the fridge and become active again when warmed .
If u get a stable s.g. two days in a row . It is time to bottle.

Goday J.B.
