i'll do one right now, then again in 3 days. i had a feeling someone was going to tell me that. and suggestions how i can get my beer to stop churning in the tank so it can settle and clear before bottling? am i harming it by keeping it in the secondary for so long?

this is my very first batch of beer. it's been in the secondary for about 20 days now, and there is still airlock activity and small bubbles fizzing up the sides of my carboy. we dry-hopped it twice in the last 20 days, once when we racked, and once about 5 days ago.. the beer isn't...

Hey there, this is my first time posting on HBT, i've found it very helpful to me over the last month. this is my brother and i's first batch of brew, so we're kind of learning and making it up as we go along here. we purchased an Oktoberfest Brew House kit from the beer store. it came...
