of beer will consist of the addition to the concentrate of carbon 
dioxide and water only.
    (2) A brewer may not employ any process of concentration or 
reconstitution unless the beer upon reconstitution will, without the 
addition of any substance other than carbon dioxide and water, possess 
the taste, aroma, color, and other characteristics of beer which has not 
been concentrated.
    (3) The process of reconstitution shall provide for the addition of 
sufficient water to restore the concentrate to a volume not less than, 
and an alcohol content not greater than, that of the beer used to
