I'm using extract at the moment, and what I currently do is bring half the water to the boil to kill germs, and leave it to cool, while I boil the extract in the other half of the water.
However I've heard other people here say that rather than adding boiled and cooled down water to the wort, they top up straight from the tap. Waiting for the water to boil and then cool, takes ages. Doing this would speed up the brewing process enormously.
Is there much risk of infection from clean tap water?
