I'm a first time brewer if you can count it as brewing, it was more like making kool aid mix. I used a beer mix from www.beermachine.com I'm sure you guys have seen this. Anyways I didn't use the beer machine since I have had so many problems with it. Instead I'm using a 6.5 gallon Poland springs plastic bottle. You all are probably already shaking your heads, but to top it off I don't think I have an air tight seal.
So my questions are:
Do I need an air tight seal to brew?
Is using bottled water bad instead of chlorinated tap water? (Since I have well water I thought it might be better to use some Poland springs.)
If I did have an air tight seal would it blow up a 6.5 gal plastic carboy brewing a 5.25gal batch?
Thank you for your replys and answers in advanced.
