As a brewer, the brewing of a high quality, great tasting beer has always been a high priority. However, when comes to wastewater and other solid wastes, one cannot adopt anymore an out of sight, out of mind mentality. Learn the unique attributes of brewery wastes, and how to treat and dispose of them. Future challenges facing brewers, including new limits on nitrogen and the impact of prolonged drought and water shortages are briefly discussed.
