I've read that the chlorine in water can contribute crook flavours to beer. A simple method to get rid of chlorine is to aerate and leave your water uncovered overnight.
I brew all-grain. The day before brewing I fill a couple of fermenters full of water in preparation for brewday. Come brewday I do a full boil.
If I was brewing from a kit (ie adding unboiled water to the extract), I wonder if this method of chlorine removal might present problems - eg. bugs in the water?? - or would there be no greater risk compared to using water directly from the tap. Comments???
cheers
