No Mr. X, Brewnoser, and others with wet vagina on the mind (see growler thread) I did not say "Hoes" I said hose. Advisories are up not drink drink water from the garden hose during the heat. I've put some light reading into the subject but figured I'd ask you lot about your experiences.
Anyone use their garden hose to fill up the kettle? Any issues with plastic flavor? Concern of toxins? Any one with these concerns come up with another idea? I was thinking of just getting a good 20 feet of 1/2 siphon tube and buying the hose end attachments.

Re: Garden Hose
I fill straight from the tap. Put it in a brew bucket and carry it outside if you can't carry a full pot (ie if you are doing 10g batches). Risk of brewing from a non-potable source just not worth the risk.

Re: Garden Hose
NEVER USE A STANDARD HOSE FOR BREWING WATER. Thank you.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Get an RV hose. That's what I use for all water on brew day.
