The cosmonauts of the ISS will test a mini-brewery created by an 11-year-old schoolboy.

Yes, the title looks a bit strange, but it is completely untrue. True, backstory is necessary to understand the situation. The fact is that last school our schoolboy, Michal Bodzianowski, received a book outlining various interesting facts from different fields of knowledge. In one of the chapters it was said that in the Middle Ages, people preferred beer to water, because at that time water was not of the best quality, but with beer it was possible to quench their thirst without the threat of getting sick seriously and for a long time.

And as a teenager, over time, the idea was ripe to use beer as an emergency source of moisture for astronauts. Well, for example, if the life support system of the ISS fails, and water cannot be drunk without a threat to health, then the astronauts will be able to brew beer and quench their thirst for them.

In general, all this sounds somewhat strange, but the student has created a mini-brewery, which will soon go to the ISS to conduct an interesting experiment: creating beer in weightless conditions. Unfortunately for the student (and perhaps to the joy), he will not go to the ISS, but first he will give instructions on how to make a drink to astronauts, and then brew a beer on Earth in order to compare the “cosmic” beer with the ordinary one on earth.

Here is such an unusual experiment will be conducted on the orbit of our planet. I wonder what the results will be. And yes, the mini-brewery will be sent to the ISS this winter.
