Now, for a question about ethics, should I tell people if they want some?
'Crushing Weevils' would be a great name for a band!Does crushing weevils count?
How about 'Scarabeo'?"Brewed with scarab" doesn't sound off-putting.
Tilt hydrometers?Could be a new fermentation indicator. When the June Bug sinks the beer is done!

My lovebug beer is going to be ready to drink this weekend. If you don't live in Florida you may not know what lovebugs are, they all hatch at the same time live for about three days and mate for the entire time.
They hatched in the middle of my boil; thousand's of them. I got most of them out but, if you get a bottle with one in it, your going to get lucky.

Instead of freezing my grain that had weevils, I microwaved instead. Screwed up my grain. The mash didn't go well, the wort was way under the calculated gravity, and the beer ended up thin and weak.

Two words: SHOP VAC (...with 3" of water and liquid soap (Dawn) added). THat's what I use on Box Elder bugs when they get under my siding. Vacuum until they're all gone, come back in 5 minutes, repeat. I did this for 3 days one year. Haven't had them since.Yea I know all about those love bugs. They fly around still attached to their mate all over and will coat the heck out of your vehicle. My neighbor has a white house and for some reason they are attracted to white and they cover the outside of the house landing on the the walls. Good luck on that Lovebug beer!
