I'd like to get a sense of how many people feel there is a benefit to boiling tap water even if its been carbon filtered and tastes good. I usually boil 2.5 gallons and mix with 2.5 gallons make up water to get to 5 gallons. In a previous life of Mr. Beer brewing I never boiled the make up water and I think it may have resulted in a degradation in taste, but this is of course hard to determine. So should I boil the extra water "just to be sure" or is there no benefit?
