Hi Guys
New to this forum and new to home brewing. Just finished my second batch of Scotch Ale yesterday. When I checked it this afternoon I noticed 2 dead fruit flies floating in the water of the airlock to the fermenter. The airlock has a cap on it that was sealed properly and the fermenting bucket was fully sealed but I suspect the flies are small enough to either penetrate the airlock cap or maybe the lid to the bucket?! What do you think? Do I need to fish the dead flies out tof the airlock? Is the entire batch ruined? Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers!
