After 96 hours my airlock is still active. I have heard that long fermentation could mean an infection. Any thoughts? Thanks

I racked a beer into a keg last week and never force carbed or carbed at all. Will I have an oxygen issue or is the beer just fine to sit in there?

Dip tube in the keg keeps clogging. I get about an inch of beer then it clogs. I dry hopped but did it in a better bottle... although this beer did have lots of hop additions. I thought it was clear enough but I guess not, I'm also new to kegging. Where do I go from here? Thanks

Just connected my first keg to my new CO2/regulator. When I cranked up the CO2 to force carb, it made a gurgling sound, which I assume was the CO2 entering the beer. I just want to make sure I do the right thing, probably paranoid. Did I miss anything? thanks

I'm going to dry hop whole leaf hops in a muslin bag in a better bottle. Can I just put some marbles in them and then just let it sink to the bottom or does it have to be suspended with fishing line or something? Thanks

For those who use oxiclean to clean equipment such as plastic primary ferm pale, should I be soaking the pale in oxiclean (if so how long) or can I just wash it like you would dishes... hot water oxciclean and a cotton hand towel? Thanks

Creating a SmuttyNose IPA clone for a 5 gallon batch, extract and would like to know what LME would be comparable to Pale Malt 2 Row grain. I'm new to the home brewing world so any suggestions would be great. Would something like Alexander's (USA) Pale Malt Extract be it? Thanks

Had a zymurgist create a smuttynose IPA extract clone and one of the ingredients was Biscuit Malt grain for steeping. He said I didn't have to crush the Biscuit but they look like whole grains. Any thoughts? Thanks

Looking at doing a recipe that calls for santiam hops but I can't find a location where to purchase them. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks
