Coolant wanter can get pretty nasty. We back-of-enveloped using warm water
from our water-cooled systems via a heat exchanger to malt barley for beer some
years ago, but the output water was too cool to be of use. On the other hand,
people are growing much more comfortable with using much warmer water to cool
their systems than we had imagined at the time, so maybe it would be worth
revisiting?
