what do do? boil it for like 5 minutes for sanitation, chill down then keg and carbonate? if so...do you guys ever put the water in the keg while its still boiling and let it chill in the keg?If you buy the extract it's super easy just add sugar water and keg. Force carb and that's it. Only problem is it's really hard to get the taste out of a keg once you do it. Especially root beer

you don't have to worry about yeast this way. I did the same the few times I made it just tap water sugar and extract. No boiling I think the instructions say 96 to 104 degrees

No I wouldn't worry about it. Think of it as making Cool-Aid rather than beer and you will be fineone last question...does it matter so much if my tap water has a water softner?
