After hauling 9 gallons of water in the brew pot this weekend, I decided I am going to finally figure how to run a food grade water hose from my faucets my patio. Anyone rigged up such a contraption? It shouldn’t be too challenging, but I’d be grateful for guidance.
You can buy an adapter at just about any hardware store. Take your aerator with you to match the threads as they come in several sizes
I use an RV hose on my utility sink faucet.
I also use the same faucet for cleaning tasks in the utility sink and side counter by attaching a short 6’ leader hose with a spray nozzle.

I brew in an unattached garage with my water supply about 30 feet away at the house. I bought a hose called Flexzilla. It’s is drinking water safe and is not nearly as stiff as most of the RV hoses I have bought over the years. At the end of the hose I attached an on/off valve and just leave the end of the hose hanging on a hook so it is there when I need it. At the end of the day I wind it up on my hose reel and roll it back into the garage.
Is water chemistry an issue? Should an inline filter be considered?

I use a high flow inline rv filter and campden tablets to start.
As Denny says, how long is a piece of string? The virtue of using water straight from the tap, with or without an inline filter, depends exclusively on your municipality.
I made one of these but I don’t always use it.
All you need is a faucet-to-hose adapter. Just take the aerator off your faucet and bring it with you to make sure the threads match, since they can be different sizes.
I’ve done something similar before and used a drinking water-safe hose, like the ones for RVs. I added a little on/off valve at the end so I didn’t have to keep going back to the faucet. When I’m not using it, I just coil the hose up and tuck it away—it keeps things neat and ready to go.
