Not sure how or when it happened. Maybe during the boil? Hopefully not during the cool down or hop stand... but there is a dead fly in my glass fermenter. Ill spend the next three weeks wondering about what sort of effect its going to have on my beer. Any thoughts from those with similar...

I'm wondering if its necessary to clean and sanitize my keg between beers. for instance, i finish the keg... why not just keep it pressurized in the fridge until my next batch is ready? Theoretically, if my last batch didn't spoil, the keg should be in pretty decent shape in terms of bacteria...
