    Stuck brew? Part2

    I did an AG Speckled Hen last week and I've been checking the HDrometer levels. Its been at 1026 for about 5 days now from OG of 1066. I've given it a gentle stir and I'll see how this goes. I'm thinking of re-pitching if this doesn't work as the yeast I used was Danstar Winsdor after looking...

    BIAB timings

    I'm just going through a few recipes with Beersmith2 and I was always under the impression that you put the grains in for 90mins at 65-67c but I've noticed with some recipes that its only 75min. Would this be because it was originally designed for a 3 vessel system and this doesn't get changed...

    What size gas bottle for BIAB?

    Just wondering what size gas bottle other BIABers use and how long do they last? They could be on for a couple of hours,so I imagine a 9kg bottle or perhaps more? Need to have a back up as well,so maybe a 9kg and a 4.5kg bottle?
