Great Ways to Brew and Save the Earth!
- Compost your spent grains, it makes a great plant fertilizer.
- Use reusable organic cotton bags to steep your grains and hops.
- Drink local beer whenever possible, then reuse the bottles for your homebrewed beer.
- Choose organic ingredients when you brew, they are better for you and better for the earth.
- Brew your own beer and save energy - beer (which is about 95% water) does not have to be shipped long distances from brewery to distributor to the store. You also don't have to burn gas running to the store as often.
- Grow your own hops, be your own ingredient supplier.
- Collect the cardboard beer carriers from the bottle return area at your local store and use them to package your homebrews.
- Keg your brew, its more time and packaging efficient.
- Use your spent grains to bake a great loaf of bread.
- Do your homebrewed beer justice, choose glass mugs over plastic cups.
- If you are going to buy beer support your local breweries, you are drinking beer that was brewed close to home and supporting a local industry.
- Use the waste water from your wort chiller to water your plants or do a load of laundry.
