I don't worry too much about the final product normally, but 4 weeks ago I've brewed a modified version of EdWort's Pale.
Tonight I open my ferm chamber (refrigerator) and I saw 2 fruit flies. Noooooo !
I ferment with loose lid. Remove the lid and see a dead fruit fly sticking on the inside of the lid due to the condensation.
This is annoying. But I take a sample, gravity is fine, smells is niiiice and it taste good right from the primary, very hoppy I have to say. Didn't know it will turn out that hoppy following the recipe.
Can someone tell me if contamination due to fruit flies show signs of degradation AFTER primary or if this kind of contamination show symptoms at the early stage of fermentation ? Should it be ok if it seems fine now ?
