Tonight I was racking my oatmeal stout into my keg. About a quarter gallon in I see a bug stuck to the side of the bucket. It is fly/bee like. It is small like a house fly but has the body of a bee...baby bee maybe lol
Anyway, I'm not terribly worried at this point since it got down to expected gravity and it didn't look infected. I don't know when the bug got in. The only time I opened it was two days ago to check the gravity. But seeing as it was stuck to the side about an inch down I assume it went in during the brew day at some point.
I know it is ok but I need you guys to tell me it is lol...no seriously though I guess the only thing I am semi worried about is wild bacteria giving it off flavors when it conditions/carbs in the keg for the next two weeks. I tasted it when I took the reading and it tasted fine so lets hope nothing else grows.
