Hi -- all beer kits I've seen have as step on the instructions:
"Add 3.5 litres of boiling water, top up with cold water to 23 litres".
What's the purpose of boiling the water? Why 3.5L of it?
If boiling the water could be skipped it would make life easier as then I could just pour all my bottled spring water straight into the FV and I then don't have to fear pitching the yeast at too hot a temperature as it would all be room temperature already.
Ta!
