I went to make a batch of beer this past weekend with ingredients from AHB. When I opened the sealed plastic bags of rice, maris, and vienna malts, and dumped them on my cheese cloth to tie up and steep, I spotted a bunch of these crawling on the counter.
This was a clean counter, and the bags of malt were sealed. I cut them open, dumped on an open cheesecloth and about 15 of these were running around. I killed the ones I saw, and just steeped the rest with the grains.
what kind of critters are they? Anyone else have problems with bugs from AHB? In the pic it looks big, but in reality it was about the size of a grain, maybe the size of a large ant (not a sugar ant).
Here we go again...Just FYI, this thread is 10 years old and OP hasn't been on in 3 years
Tell everyone they are poppey seedswell now you have me freaked out a bit, not so much from the possibility of bugs in the brew, but I have a couple of loaves of bread made from the spent grain from the last batch. Finding bugs in baked bread is not something to look forward to!
