It occurred to me a few years back that taking cold tap water to 170ish degrees takes a lot more time and uses a lot more propane than taking hot water from the tap at roughly 125 degrees to 170. So since that time I always get my mash water from the hot water tap. I make great beer and have not have any off-flavors due to this approach. But I did start wondering recently if it may be harmful to drink water that has come from a hot water tank. I don't have lead pipes or anything, but also realize that water from the hot water tank may leach some undesirable heavy metals.
Does anyone else use this approach or see any problems w/ it?
