Brewed cream of 3 crops 17 days ago. Og was good. Volume was a little more than intended. Say 5.9ish gal. Instead of the 5.75 intended

Sat in chest freezer for 17 days now. Opened lid, and found a fly had snuck into the bucket! Little jerk. No pellicle or signs of infection but relatively early.



Know I already bottled it, along with 3 other 5.5gal batches, and realized this one had a much lower fg. All four were 1.012ish. Slightly worried I gave bottle bombs to my friend, it was brewed for their wedding on sept. 20th.
