If you were installing a water faucet in your garage brewspace, would you plumb for both hot and cold water?
My plumber suggested both. and then wye'ing the toghether ahead of the faucet. I am not exactly certain how he intends to do this (valving in line or just a straight shot with a risk of backflow).
I have looked for that end of line faucet valve with the hot and cold sides but haven't found it.
My hot water is in the 150*F to 170*F range and my cold is usually between 55*F and 65* so at 1:1 I'd still be around 100*F and my filter is not rated for that so, I'd need to have the choice.
Would having a hot water source at the brewery be worth it?
I am thinking it might be to reduce heating times and aid in cleaning but, I thought I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks.
