Sanitized water?

[ChandlerBang]

I am using mountain spring water from the big jugs. If I open one of those fresh to add to the wort to achieve the appropriate batch size after the boil, Should I still boil it to sterilize it?

 

[Spludge]

I don't think it will be a problem if you don't, I used to do it all the time. People even top off with non-boiled tap water

Agreed. If you're worried about it, boiling isnt going to hurt but its not something you should be super worried about.

I do it all the time....so far so good.

Things that cause infections arent usually in tap water due to the chemicals most water municipalities use. Run your water through a Brita or PUR filter and your tap water "should" be good enough to use. Filtered "spring" water is usually no different since they run it through all sorts of filters.

I just use tap water out of the tap no filter, but we got good water, comes out of a pond wayyyyy out in the woods.

I been to some cities where I wouldn't use their water even boiled
