Hello,
I have a couple of questions before I start brewing my first batch on wednesday.
What is the best way to move your beer from the primary to the secondary? I assume siphoning works, but I wonder... Since the beer will be running through a tube your mouth was on - is there a chance for contamination? I am extremely parnoid about sanitation (yeah I know... need to relax, but I don't have a homebrew yet! =)
Also, I have a question about water. I don't really trust the water that comes from my tap so should I boil the water before adding it to the wort in my primary? Should I go out and buy some water at the grocery-store?
Thanks... I'm sure I'll conjure up another couple questions before my first batch.
