of the ttime it would be called smalll beer.

Basically people drank very weak beer as it was sterile and safe as opposed to the water which was filthy.

We've done that. Takes about two weeks to brew some good beer, though. And you wouldn't want to do it in a bathtub, though you could. A good carboy is way better.
