Is my batch ruined???

What went wrong? Was this supposed to happen? Should I throw it out? What do I do now?

Is my batch ruined???

Post by Yooj160 »

Hi all:

I'm a newbie to homebrewing and I started my first batch earlier today. I was wonder if its OK to use bottled spring water that has not been boiled?

My situation is this: I added my wort to 2 gallons of spring water but I forgot to boil/cool the 2 gallons before hand. Now its all in the fermentor...is my batch ruined? Do I need to dump it out and start over?

Nope

I don't believe you ruined it. Most extract recipies require that you top off the wort with water anyway. I never boiled it and the beer turned out great. When you convert to all grain that won't be an issue.
