TC = Fly Catcher

[Curious Brew]

Put down my pint of TC for a second last night while brewing my kit and a fly immediately flew into it and drowned.

After finishing the brew I checked on my two demijohns (one ginger beer, one TC) to see how they were progressing and discovered another three flies dead in the bubbler on the TC.

Seriously people, if you have pet flies, DON'T brew TC.

Known as fruit flies, we all get them, attracted by small spillages in the preperation area, left unnoticed in a brew will spoil it, hence their nickname vinegar/wine flies, pesky things..

Have you noticed that these little chaps will appear from absolutely nowhere and only seem to have the sole intention of the ruination of your brew?

I had never notice a fruit fly where I live until some brewing this year. Now they come out of the wood work when they sense bottling is about to begin!

Just for a little tip if you don't have caps for your airlocks then put a little cotton wool in the end, this'll keep the little pests out

I use nasty vodka for airlocks...that seems to stop them.

I've got the caps but never bothered using them, I will in future.
