I was looking at my bottles that we bottled 9 days ago just to see how they were doing, and two bottles that were next to each other had something in common...
one had a dead fly floating in the bottom, with some baby-flies (little maggots) stuck on the sides of the inside of the bottle... the other bottle just had some maggots.... after my stomache settled down, I dumped those two bottles...
Now... would those guys be in there due to a problem with sanitation, although I was quite anal about keeping everything clean, or is it most likely that those two bottles had eggs in them that didn't get fully washed out from sitting in my garage? Should I be worried about all my bottles in this batch? I looked at every one of them and didn't see anything foreign in the others... but now Im worried about contamination... this beer was so tasty in my tests so far too...
Thanks.
