Hi Guys (female Kit brewer here) *I have been making “kit & kilo” for many years. Never a failed brew yet. Boil the water prior to adding to wort.

Well, I think the best way to do this is to boil the water first, then add the malt. This way you kill off any potential infections, but you’re not over-cooking the wort–which is what would happen if you give these hopped kits another 30 to 50 minute boil.

We have had a lot of success at brewing from a kit without boiling, but what you say makes sence and there is nothing worse than waiting a few weeks to find a bad infected beer. For the sake of a little more work preparing your brew, boiling can help insure against infections.

If you don’t boil your wort good luck with the results, sounds like a receipe for bad beer. I would believe there will be a strong chance for infection in any beer that doesn’t boil the wort. As an experienced homebrewer even when I do uses a can on rare occasions I still boil the wort.
