I just read an article from Gizmodo about some scientists who tried to create a beer that rehydrates rather than dehydrates. They simply added electrolytes.
As a distance runner and homebrewer, I think this would be an awesome thing to try. You can get all sorts of flavorless electrolyte powders, but I don't know if they will have an effect on the brewing process such as PH change, conversion problems, or inhibiting fermentation. Here's a link to a product (Endurolytes) that I have at home. Do you think this sort of thing would cause problems? Changes to my process? Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance for the help.
