I just noticed the airlock on a one gallon batch of sour beer had dried out and there were about 10 dead fruit flies in the airlock. The beer is about 11 months old. I don't know how long the airlock has been dry, but it must have been a while. I smelled the beer and it smells okay. I'm wondering if, 1) I should worry about a nasty infection and 2) If I could hit this batch with campden and then blend it with another sour or keg it and force carb it. Any advice would be great because, despite brewing through four Indiana summers, this is the first time I have had a fruit fly problem.
