I've been contemplating putting a cartridge style filter (same as the ones we all use under our kitchen sink and for filtering brews etc) onto the water inlet side of my brew rig when it's built...
however i'm assuming a litre or two of stagnant water sitting in a canister could grow some nasties between brews... I'd rather not introdcuce another thing to clean at the end of every brewday, and if it's going to grow bacteria, i'm probably better off just running unfiltered tap water...
options i'm thinking of
1. mount filter upside down so the inlet and outlet are at the bottom and if it's plumbed with JG fittings just disconnect and let drain after use..
2. maybe pump starsan through it so it's soaking in starsan for the 3-4 weeks between brews?
3 not worry about installing a filter (though this is Adelaide water) ...
ideas/thoughts?
