Like many people, I strive to live conservatively, re-using items, fixing instead of replacing, limiting consumption, being reasonably frugal.
One area of my brewing practices that I've not paid much or any attention to is limiting or re-using the water I use in brewing. For example:
1) oxiclean water to soak bottles in (about 10 gallons per batch)
2) oxiclean water that I use to wash brewing equipment (about 5 gallons each batch)
3) rinse water for both bottles and equipment (no idea how much)
4) water from the immersion chiller (no idea how much)
Am I missing any big uses? The only thing I really do at this point is re-use my chill water by putting it in the washing machine.
I'm interested in hearing how people conserve their water use in brewing, either by reducing the water they use or by re-use.
