    I assumed the title of the thread was skin tanning using waikato beer.

    Finally, a realistic use for it.

    Well considering the line "piss poor" came from people selling their urine to tanning factories long ago, there may be something in that.

    Staying on the stray topic... (but I see you managed to mention tanning factories, nice touch)... did you know that phosphorous was discovered when early alchemists boiled down urine in their quest for gold?

    And to think I thort a "golden shower" at the whore house was for the colour.

    But on the tanning line...if one wants blue skins, I think the Te Aroha plant still does them.
