Visiting a friend last night who as gifted a 24-pack of Budweiser. He asked me if I wanted it, and I told him no (as my fridge is full of delightful homebrew).
Thinking about what to do with it, I started to wonder if you could boil it down and use it as a base to make another beer? (Obviously adding in new fermentables as well).
It would almost certainly not be worth the effort, and would be a far inferior option to just boiling fresh grains (likely just resulting in a lot of staleness and off flavors).
But in theory, could this (or any not great beer) simply be boiled down and used as an ingredient for a new batch? (To be clear, I'm NOT doing this. Just curious about the theoretical exercise).
