Toucan Wheat Stout (post Apocalyptic brew)

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and blame it all on your rinsed US05.
Why even bother rinsing such a widely available yeast?

Also on top of that had stuck fermentation probably due to expired LME.

The LME is food for the yeast. Even when it ages it doesn't stop being food; just stale oxidised food. It shouldn't cause a stuck fermentation; that would be down to temperature, yeast health and oxygenation.

I have never rinsed yeast before I thought it would be good opportunity to try, even if its US05, I ended up not using rinsed yeast as I did not like the look of it. Pitched Nottingham instead.

I dont know for certain what did cause fermentation to stop at 1025 (OG was 1048) I used STC temperature controller (fermented at 18 C). Also used electric drill to mix/oxygenate.
I read on some forums that usually old LME/DME does not ferment fully and sometimes causes stuck fermentation also leaves some residual sweetness.
I still have good few kits left to experiment with.
