So being really paranoid...how hard is it really to contaminate your beer?
When's the highest risk? What part of the process?
I always boiled water that I used to clean with or added PBW. Cleaned out bucket/carboy with Star San...
But let's say what happens if you clean with just tap water? Or boiled water? Or bottled water? How bad is tap water? I assume depends on many conditions, pipes in building/house, well/city water, etc.
I guess basically reading a thread about how screw ups can yield good beer I see people dropping phones into wort and all sorts of stuff...A cell phone must be pretty greasy and full of contaminants... So how hard is it really to screw up?
haha, I guess to put my mind at ease.
Thanks!
