How important is it to boil all the water that will be used to make my first Apple Cherry Cider? The instructions say to boil 1 gallon of water and dissolve 2 lb of dextrose, add to fermenter once it is cooled then top up to 6 gallons. Should the top up water be boiled also? I'm using RO...

I have a Red Ale that has been in the fermenter for five six days now. I'm using a Tilt Hydrometer and reached my target FG of 1.010 two days ago and it hasn't changed. I'm still getting bubbling in my blow off about once a minute. Since it appears that the fermentation is complete are the...
