      Breweries use a fuck ton of water, doing this would cut down on the strain on the municipality and possibly offer them a tax break.

        Hey I am all for it. The alcohol from the beer would kill off any remaining bacteria anyway. I would definitely give this a shot, especially if it were an IPA.

          It’s not the alcohol of the beer which kill the remaining bacteria and co, but the high temperature during the brewing process.
