Need advise

[CoastalEmpireWine]

I drew a sample of my orange blossom mead today and in my wine thief was a house fly. I do not know if it came from my mead or if it was in the wine thief. Is it safe to drink or should I dump it? I honestly don't know how it would have ended up in the mead as it was fermented in a one gallon glass jug and is still in the same jug. It is still fermenting. It has been for 2 weeks now.

I wouldnt worry much, I would assume it was in the thief if you didnt see it in the 1-gallon prior..

Dunno how much of a hurry i'd be in to put the drawn sample back in the batch though, but either way i dont think it'd be too big of a deal as long as you keep the k-meta up appropriately

I dumped the sample down the drain and I keep the k meta sample in accordance with the ph level

Ive read a post where a guy found a dead mouse on the cap of his red in the primary, and he fermented as usual after removing the mouse. So i think yer ok
