what about the live micro organisms living in your tap water + chlorine? I'm a 'all grain' homebrewer, and it's the first time I've ever seen someone pour tap water directly to the ferm. I've seen though, people pouring water previously boiled and cooled... regards!

@nmramallo My kind response would be that I have not had any problems and in fact I have made some stellar beers in the extract/partial category with my tap water, and for the record, this beer was amazing, better than any macro beer, and then some. But not everyone has city water as good as I do. Bottled is always an option for those concerned. Cheers :)

Craig .. would you have gotten more extract from the Grains had you not put them into a bag? It seems to me allowing the water to circulate around the grains would have been more beneficial.

[CraigTube]

@MrSchpankme Well that's more "mash" style and usually done with base grains. As long as you keep the bag loose, it works fine, and you sparge it at the end of the steep.

how come you never worry about the chlorine in your water? is there none or is it just not problem? thanks for all your hardwork. cheers

[CraigTube]

@ryanarnaud It doesn't seem to cause any problems here. We do have it.

Is this a Brewer's Best kit? I bought a BB Witbier Kit yesterday and I'll use this helpful video to get me through it. Always used Coopers in the past.

@knighttc1 No sugar needed because there's enough extract. It's a great tasting kit.

[knighttc1]

Craig, I didnt see you add any sugar in the wort, is this because the LME took its place? I am thinking of ordering this kit next. Thanks for the videos, they're excellent.
