you will also need a set of pre filters, RO membranes and DI vessel. thats just to make the water.

Lager would be better than beer to be honest - it's almost water anyway.

you would be better off buying a small RO unit, if using resin, you need to run the water though the resin, not just put it in the barrel

have a look on the DIY site, it explains it in fairly simple terms

google DIYWFP
