Making Beer from Swimming Pool Water

Well where I live water is scarce, and I cant afford to keep the swimming pool topped up any more. Freakin' council is killing me I tell ya.

So rather than let all that water go to waste what ya reckon, boiler up and she'd be right ?

How about an open ferment in the pool? 4 kilos of hops, a tonne of dex and 3/4 tonne of corn syrup. You won't need to stir, just put the filter on. I think racking could be a problem - unless you have a neighbour with an empty pool. I would advise bottling into jacuzzis for the second fermentation.

Cheers,

and swim around in it

Nice one Daz, maybe I'd better use the scoop to get the scum off the top - or whoever is swimming in it!

How many bags of hops would it take to make a pair of floaties?

Have you got salt/chlorine pool munkee or just chlorine?
