Why do fruit flies like Moonshine?

Post by ER70S-2 »

I know this is an odd question but my buddy and I both noticed independently that fruit flis are attracted to home made moonshine rather then store bought booze, anyone else notice this? When drinking around the camp fire the fruit flies seem to flock to shine and don't bother with the store bought crap.
I've also noticed that my moonshine defineltley has a yeast like smell to it once I'm 3/4's way through a bottle. I can really notice a distinctive smell, almost like bread, when I smell the bottle, is this normal? It's just the DWG recipe that was on charred oak for about 3 weeks.
