I do not have a water filtration system at home other than a Brita water pitcher. I currently brew with water from my kitchen sink transferred to my garage in very small increments with no filtering/treatment at all.

Would using this drinking water hose from an outside spigot be any more subject to off flavors than my current method? My thought is that it probably would, but it just seems like sooooooo much less of a pain in the ass that I hope it would be OK!!
