It's funny you should mention music because my name is music-related. My first name is Jeremiah and as we all know, Jeremiah was a bullfrog...

G'day Sonny.
You're still reading directions of the can aren't ya? Throw those away for starters.
Your current ferment temp is where you should be pitching, between 18-22c for ales is good.
I learnt after every brew (and still do, probably always will). You may have cooked your yeast, an experienced brewer should be able to help us there. If that's the case I'd re-pitch another packet, that's worse case scenario. Give fermentor a shake and see if it wakes up after a day or two, I have done this for at least 5 brews. OR leave it alone and check SG after a few more days, hopefully someone else can help more by then.
Cheers

I took a sampler (as you do) and this time the chocolate after taste has practically disappeared, and the roasty maltness is coming through stronger.
