Hmmm.. Good input from you guys. I was just scared of ruining another batch. This is from a kit (Homebrewers Outpost) and it was 48 bucks so I was hell bent on making it work. The drops of water came from the water sitting on the carport so I was fairly certain this would have just devastated...

I was boiling my wort in a turkey fryer on my carport. After it had almost cooled (used an immersion chiller) to around 100 F, I accidentally stepped in a small puddle of water from the chiller. I watched in slow motion as a big water droplet splashed into the wort. This is my second batch...

My first batch of beer came out absolutely terrible so I'm making another attempt tomorrow. I'm confused on how much water to actually use. One set of instructions say to boil 5 gallons of water, another says 2.5, then add 2.5 cold to the fermenter. But wouldnt this infect the beer?
