1020 sounds a little high - have you tried:

1. Giving the fermentor a gentle swirl?
2. Racking it to a secondary vessel?
3. Raising the temp slightly to say 22 degrees?

It is likely you have a stuck ferment.

cheers.

^yep

And just because it wasn't stated explicitly above - it is quite unlikely that you have killed your yeasties, bob.

Quick question - what yeast is it exactly? Might be one with a reputation for finishing very slowly.
