Right now I am using the yeast that comes under the lid because I haven't yet started venturing out into the world of experimenting with different yeasts yet. It seems to work well at that temperature; but I'll look into temps for each yeast as I start experimenting.

G'day PnK
I seriously doubt you'll get down to 1.010 for a high(ish) alc brew unless you used a decent yeast starter, aerated the wort and used a fair amount of highly fermentable material (dex/sucrose).
Chances are it's a bog stock ale yeast which just won't make it. If it eventually gets to 1.015 I'd be pretty happy. Could take another week though.
