I've been thinking a lot about melting down some snow and using it as water for a brew. Before anybody thinks I'm nutzos let me explain: I've heard it said that snow is "poor man's fertilizer" which leads me to believe it has some nutrients in it that might make the yeast go bonkers. Also, it seems to me snow would be naturally soft (no calcium), right? I know it might be a colossal pain in the rear to get enough snow water melted and sterile, but might as well use the dang stuff if it's laying around. Might just be a killer ingredient for a winter brew, sort of like a tradition. What do you think?
