Just make sure that you're either using tap water you've boiled and cooled or bottled water. Once boiled, the wort is nice and sterile - don't ruin that...


Something else people do or dont do.

I have never boiled the tap water and have never had any issues. I would guess the hot wort being poured has something to do with it. But yea it wont hurt to do.

We have never had problems with ground water either. I have actually never had a problem with adding ice. Now I don't do it too often, even when I am doing extract but I hear people have a problem with adding ice to cool a beer down. I've never had any issue.

To be fair, I've never had any issues with it either. But, I'd rather teach him the proper methods and let him learn the shortcuts on his own. "Do as I say, not as I do" sort of thing.
