TheWoWDBI took this quest, tried it a few times and then avoided it like the plague until I came back to it at level 88. The description is terrible and misleading. I thought you had to get enough muddy water into the flask so that if you carried it all the way back to MudMug there would still be some left once you got there. In fact you simply have to move from pool to pool until it is full, at which point it stoppers itself. Then you just turn it in. Once I knew this, it took me 10 seconds to complete.

This quest is horribly explained. I thought you collected water from a pool, and then had to find the shortest route back to Mudmug. Yeah, no. You collect water from multiple pools until it is full, and then you're done, the pools are green in color. Most of them have 3 or 4 pools to collect from, and then you can easily walk to the next pool and collect another 3-4. Seriously blizz? Come on man!

Description
While you're just hangin' around, I might as well get you involved in my whole beer-makin' "process". Ain't much of a process, really... I just mix all the stuff together and wait. You probably heard - I like to use the muddy water from the riverbanks, to the south. Would you mind fillin' up this flask with that water and bringin' it back? I'll start gettin' the hops and barley all ready.

Uncle Chen asked me not to get into any fights while he was away... but that doesn't mean I can't go exploring. Finally, a chance to look around Pandaria without stopping every forty-seven steps for another rest! You want to come with me?

Yes, I found the Stormstout Brewery... although I didn't exactly get the warm reception I expected. <Chen pours himself a mug of ale.> Do you want to hear the story?
