Beer made out of wastewater sounds pretty yucky, but I have heard that some of our local clubs that are making and brewing their own beers are taking a very true interest in making some of their beers with wastewater, As long as they can refine it a little bit and give it a good taste I will try it!!!! Somehow though they need to produce it so no one can get cirrhosis. I remember when my grandfather had strokes his doctor told to take a few shots of whiskey everyday and that would be good for him. He lived for about another 10 years but it was his heart that gave out!!!!
