The idea of fermentation to kill bugs and what not is mentioned in the documentary How Beer Saved the World.
If I remember rightly, they make a brew out of pond water towards the end

I saw this "documentary" a while back: "How Beer Saved the World" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1832368/
I had to spend an hour on wikipedia afterwards to determine if it was a spoof or serious show! (I still don't know about some parts of it :)
There is mention of brewing duck pond water (I believe in Davis) in the documentary "How Beer Saved the World". A fun and informative 45min.
