A team of University of California, San Diego students are competing to send an experiment aboard a spacecraft built by Indian startup TeamIndus, which received a million bucks as part of Googles Lunar XPRIZE competition. The students, like all of us, want to know whether yeast can survive to ferment beer on the Moon.
The proposed experiment starts with wortmalt and water mixed together, prepared on Earth and placed into a special experimentation vessel. The vessel would allow the fermentation process, where the yeast turns sugar to alcohol, and the carbonation process, of getting the bubbles into the beer, to occur simultaneously without releasing any excess carbon dioxide.
Let's hope they at least use Galaxy hops
