Water on Mars!

[agrazela]

I wonder if it would be good for brewing.

It would kill anyone trying to drink it.

That doesn't answer the question though. Would it make a really fantastic IPA? If it did, its 100% worth the trip/drinking poison water.

I'm waiting to use Europa water. It's a Jupiter moon, and is covered with ice. Astrophysicists think there is flowing water under the ice where the tectonic heating in the moon's core keeps the water liquid. Nasa's got a probe dedicated to this moon, the Europa Clipper. Planned flight mid '20s. Flight time 3-6 years. I hope they at least pack a fishing pole.

Comets whizzing through space contain water (it's ice crystals I beleive that form the tail of comets). The Japanese have landed space vehicles on asteroids, and a comet is just an icy asteroid, so it's well without possibility to bring space water back to earth. Grabbing this space water is a big deal since fuel (H + O) can be made from it.

Probably some opportunity for wicked infections from unsterilized space water

I was sure that they will find water on Mars. I would only have been surprised if they would have found beer on Mars.

Comets drank all the Martian beer. That's why they're whizzing in space.

I watched a documentary about the icy moon Europa one time, entitled Europa Report.

It seems the most difficult part about brewing on Europa is actually getting to the water. You'd have to drill through some REALLY thick ice, and then there are the killer creatures lurking under there.

I think it would be totally doable if we used nuclear powered drills and brought Ellen Ripley along for backup. A clone would do if she was busy.

What to name the beer, though? For Martian water it could be, "Killer Märtian Märzen". For Europa, "Moonwalker Madness". (It's a long ride out there!)

They are releasing a documentary on some guy they left on mars. Maybe he tried the water.

If there's water on Mars but no beer then it's time to call off the search for intelligent life.

 

[unionrdr]

It seemed to me they said the Martian water was really salty? Ground water can be funky...

Orval clone then?

 

[Mexibilly]

1st of many...

 

[WarrynPeace]

Haha, not sure if that was supposed to be tongue in cheek or not, but I think "documentary" would be a strong word for Europa Report. It is however a fantastic sci-fi flic.

Homer's sense of humor. He's seen the movie.

Martin already has the profile uploaded in the latest version of Bru'N water.

Wait, so you mean they didn't really send trucks to asteroids to protect the earth like in the documentary Armageddon?

I suppose next your gonna insist that those kids didn't really witness aliens on government trains despite catching it all on a 8mm handy cam. Pfft!

I think the answer is "Stay Thirsty".

My son wrote that article so I used this thread as an excuse to show off

And the next

Gose?

 

[unionrdr]

That, or maybe a Burton?

 

[drainbamage]

Gose?

Beat me to it.

 

[balrog]

Burton on Olympus Mons water profile?

Maybe use some Wyeast 1084 and make a Martian Red?

 

[Zuljin]

It'll be fine after the boil.

I've seen both The Thing (1982) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) recently.
I don't think I'll try that beer.

Water boils at 10°C on mars.
We better stick to lagers.
