I just got a new fermentation chamber (fridge). I have a temp controller plugged in with the probe cable just in between the rubber on the door. After two weeks in primary at 62 degrees the fridge was full of fruit flies. The fridge is in an unconditioned garage (very hot right now). No flies in the airlock. Instead of crashing in the chamber, I ended up moving the fermenter into my keezer which is at 35 degrees. If I find a way to seal the door, will this stop? Should I brew a lager next at say 45 degrees (fruit flies die at this temp?). Can I stop them? Last year when I fermented in my closet without temp control I had fruit flies also. Seems to happen in the summer. What to do? Maybe a blowoff tube long enough to put outside the fridge to avoid the co2 smell?
