Home of the BrewNosers

If you haven't heard yet, Halifax Water is doing some infrastructure upgrades this weekend and wants everyone to conserve water. I'd rather not have to boil my drinking water, so I encourage everyone to skip brewing and conserve water in general. As a bonus, this is an excuse to up the intake of homebrew! As an extension, plants should be watered the absolute bare minimum to keep them alive, at least until Monday morning.

The areas affected by the water reduction request are basically the peninsula and Fairview. Here's a map (PDF!). There's a CBC story with a bit of info here.

Your logic is flawed. If we drink more homebrew then we will have to increase our trip s to the washroom and therefor use more water. A better reason not to brew with w/e is that the water coming out of the taps no matter where you are in hfx is at risk. Anytime the halifax water messes with the system weird things happen to the color and taste.

I think you can pretty much guarantee that most businesses and a lot of residents will not change their water use practices this weekend and we will be on a boil water order. I've put kegged water on tap in the fridge to drink along with my beer. It's supposed to be hot this weekend so boiling water and waiting for it to cool to drink is not an option.

"If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down."

And that's why the drink Mello Yello is hilarious.

Drink more homebrew, then go outside and water the plants. Everybody wins.

I like the cut of your jib.

Or come visit me and drink my pristine well water from my healthy water table.
