    What to do when things don't smell right?

    I have a Full Moon clone brewing right now and the smell in the room just doesn't seem right. So, everyone has said time heals (almost) all beer ills. My question is, where should my beer spend the extra time to work out any off flavors that may be present? Should it be in the primary...

    The little o-ring on my plastic bucket fermentor (where the airlock goes) is almost cut in two from use, age, being stored for years in my dad's attic. So, where can I get a new one? Also, what are they officially called?

    Something Quick for an impatient Newbie

    I've got a beer in one of my two secondary's and I really want to get something in the primary that might not take so long. Are there any styles of beers that brew quicker then others? In my secondary is a Franzikaner clone. It was a mini mash boil so I'm comfortable with that but from...
