if your tap water is safe to drink out of the tap-- as in you'd give your young children/nephews/nieces a glass right off the tap-- then it's probably safe to use for your beer.
If you insist on bottled water because you don't consider municiple water suitable for consumption then, yeah, you better boil it.

BrooZer said:Thanks but I was looking into using bottled water for everything, no muni water. Do i need to boil the "bottled" top off?
