Hey guys, I have made a few batches so far, all have been great and let me say i freaking LOVE brewing.
Now it has come to my attention that i may be overly cautious and end up making my brew process much longer.
Basically my current process is making roughly 3 gallons of wort, chilling to room temp in cold water, and then adding to fermenter. I then add 2.5 gallons back in the brew pot, boil and chill again, then add the chilled already boiled water to the fermenter to make up the rest
Now it has come to my attention that it may be possible to just add cold tap water to make up the remainder of water needed in my fermenter, but im concerned this is a source of contamination. Opinions?
