I don't think I'd use that equipment again! Maggots.......don't like them but I guess you can make a Maggot Protein IPA if that's your thing.

I would have to say that sanitization was not done properly on this one! Did he cap it with a fly in there!!

Can you imagine what that smells like. Almost makes me throw up thinking about it.

Just can't bring myself to hit the start button on that one. :blink:

On the other hand didn't they used to use maggots to eat decaying flesh in gun wounds in the old days?

Maybe the guy just wanted to get his beer clearer. :whistle:

I've had fruit flies get up under my lid. But not all the way in.

So I've never made maggot ale.

Then again, I've never made this either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_ale

My wife works for the Dekalb County Medical Examiners office, we discuss worse things than that over dinner.

I wonder if some Brett, would chew through all that protein and make a decent sour? :o

yes, maggots only eat dead flesh. so they'll actually "clean" a wound of infection
