I just wanted to know what water you guys all use to top up your fermenters. Do you use tap or bottled or something? I was very anxious to get my first batch ready and I simply used 6 gallons of steam distilled bottled water both to dissolve the malt extract and to top up my fermenter. Was that alright or should I really have boiled all water being used in the operation to absolutely ensure sterility? I'm just afraid I screwed the whole thing up but then again I find it hard to believe that bottled steam distilled water could have enough microorganisms to inoculate my brew and screw it up. I'll be waiting hopefully for your replies, keep my brew in your prayers...
