Went to check on my ginger beer that is fermenting and I noticed a little bug was floating at the top of my beer. It looks like a tiny winged ant, but it's pretty small so it's hard to see EXACTLY what it is.
Just wondering how that little thing got in there My only guess is that it was either in the boil (hopefully) or the ant managed to make a daring entrance through the airlock.
Thinking about putting something like cheesecloth in between the airlock and the airlock cover.
Does anyone know if this will cause any infections or off flavors? Can't imagine winged ants are particularly good for fermentation
