I've been brewing for a long time and this keeps coming up and just plain bugs me.
why is everyone always worried about tap water contaminating your beer?? Anyone who rinses out sanitizer...what do you rinse with??? Tap water. We all will set a glass of tap water in front of our children without batting an eye.
Anyone have any valid reason other than chloramines? Why do you folks that do it boil your tap water prior to adding as topup water???
Many times I've seen "never use straight tap water without boiling first" and then the instruction to rinse out the iodophor solution with a bottle washer attached to your tap
Just a curious brewer here
