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.

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.

Same here. Except I use a 3 gallon SS pot to fill at the sink.

NEVER USE A STANDARD HOSE FOR BREWING WATER. Thank you.

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

This one from Home Hardware would do the trick.
