I'm only on my second batch so I still have a lot of questions
On my first batch I did a 2.5 gallon boil. I didn't know I was supposed to use sanitized water for the topoff, so I just used tapwater from the squirt nozzle.
Beer turned out good,
So I repeated that for my second batch which is still in the primary. Basicly the primary sets on the floor and the squirt hose is short so I shoot water into the bucket from about 4 feet away which creates a fair amount of bubbles on the top of the beer. (And a lot of water on the floor) Aside from the fact that I'm using tapwater which I know a lot of you will frown upon, is there any problem with the squirt method? It stirs up the wort pretty well and makes a lot of bubbles on top....soo.....can this also count as my aeration too?
