Ok, maybe stupid question... but I waited two weeks before brewing, cause I didn't want to mess up. I did everything buy the book.. Everything. Then it dawned on me. "That was stupid!"
1. I did my 3 - 4 gallon boil
2. Sanatized everything that came in contact with wort.. "EVERYTHING"
3. Direction on yeast even said Boil water then cool then add yeast.
4. Fill Fermenter to 5 Gallon mark with water. <-- Won't this water then contaminate wart if it's never been boiled? Nobody says anything about the Top Off water being boiled. Is it possible that this water has bacteria or other posible contaminates since it wasn't boiled with original wort?
