Brewed a Nethergate Old Growler from GWs book yesterday ,, evertything seemed fine enough. found out today about a burst water pipe just north of where i live and Northumberland Water issued there usual "boil your water" warnings. I suppose its a waiting game but what do you think. Cheers Mal

Didn't you boil your water when making the beer? And pathogenic bacteria don't grow in beer anyway...

Brewed a Nethergate Old Growler from GWs book yesterday so you would have "boil your water" or the wort!!!!

Hi folks, I was more worried about mashing and batch sparging, it was obviously boiled at the end. I was just paranoid about any infections pre boil. But if you think the boil would kill the nasties then thats super. I will let you know at xmas

"Chill Winston" that is why you BOIL!

Unless you have sporeforming pathogens there is no way that a 60-90 minute bol would have any nesties left in it. If you diluted the wort post boil with normal tap water this is another thing.
AFAIR wort boils at a temperature in excess of 100 degrees due to the sugars and solids involved.

So sit back, relax and have a home brew dude. All will be well.
