I am about to start brewing an IPA in about an hour or so. I am going to make the wort, cool it, then add it to the fermenting bucket. I will then need to add more water to bring the total volume up to 5 gallons. I am planning on adding tap water straight to the bucket of cooled wort, then stirring a lot, then pitching yeast.
I live in Chicago. Is our tap water safe to do this with? Or do I need to pre-boil?
Thanks guys.
