I am prepping my containers now to wash tomorrow. Should I be concerned about the water I use? In other words, is it best to use bottled water for this or am I obsessing?

I usually use the water I boiled all my glass jars in. I just keep everything sealed up in the pot, jars and water until yeast washing day.

I intend to use the water that I boil my containers in as well to limit the oxygen content. I am just wondering if I am obsessing if I use bottled water to boil the containers and fill them with that water.

You're welcome. Be sure to fill the mason jars all the way up. You don't want any headspace.

Eeeeek! I must have missed that part. What do you suggest I do to fill the headspace at this time? Bottled water?
