I brewed my first batch of beer in over 10 years yesterday. I basically had a kit with all the ingredients and a set of instructions. I followed them exactly and that might be my problem. After I cooled the wort, I transferred it into a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. Since it wasn't a full boil I needed to add water to bring it to 5 gallons. The instructions just said "Add cold water until you reach 5 gallons". They did not say "Add cold water that previously was boiled until you reach 5 gallons"....So basically I just added cold water from the tap...and now I am thinking I might have ruined 5 gallons of beer.
Thoughts?
Thanks so much!
