So, I brewed for the first time today - I'm hooked and I haven't even tasted the beer. I did have to pitch a little warmer than I would have liked but we'll just have to wait and see.
Here are my questions:
1) if I am using bottled water, do I have to boil the water I am just going to add to the wort to bring the amount up to 5 gal.? If I don't have to boil it, it will make pitching at the right temp a lot easier.
2) I didn't notice too much foaming or even come close to a boil-over due to my stove being a bit old I think. Should I be worried or just happy boil-over wasn't an issue?
Any advice is greatly appreciated as always.
