Wll I just spent 5 hours making my all grain wort and wtf, as I am pitching my yeast a damn humungous blowy goes whoop, plop, straight into my wort. I coulda died.
I scooped it out and pitched the yeast anyway.
What ya reckon my chances are ? Give up and go for the next batch or plod alog ?

No, don't ditch it.
When you pour it, just convince youself that there are undissolved rice grains in your American style PA, not maggots.
Neck it and see...

I make all my beer in my 'Man-Shed' which is a horse stables where my dogs live. Between spiders, flies and ants, I've no problems. Good proteins though, for the bugs that don't get seen. Do you get many 'blowies' in the UK munkee?

The amount of mozzies in my garage (where I brew) I'm been worried about something like this happening. The other day I was bottling and a mouse ran across my lap!
Good to know there's still a chance if one of these little bastards gets in the wort.
