so, during my last brewday, I forgot to add brewing salts to the boil.

can I add to the fermentor? I used a mixture of distilled an tap. my tap has almost nothing to being with (except sodium....) so there aren't many minerals in there....
 
Chlorine is a beer killer. Also, if your beer is done fermenting you'll add unwanted O2. Boil water for 20 minutes to boil off both chlorine and free O2 molecules. Then add to fermenter, you'll be fine.
