What should you fill the bubbler with? I have heard many different options (sanitized water, distilled water, or vodka).

I forgot to put water in the air-lock bubbler, so ended up adding it 7 1/2 hours after pitching the yeast. Down the road could that cause any issues with the taste?

Thanks for the replies. If I had other ways of cooling down the wort quickly, like an ice bath or copper wort chiller, is there any benefit to boiling more water for the wort? I just didn't know since it was a beginner kit if the reason they had you boil less water vs total batch volume was to help ...

Why does BrewDemon's instructions only have you boil 4 cups of water for your wort for a 2 gallon batch?

How does the volume of water for your wort vs the batch total volume affect your brew?
