Space station used for distillery experiments


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

An island distillery has taken to space in a bid to discover the taste of the future.

Experiments using malt from the Ardbeg distillery on Islay are being carried out on the International Space Station to see how it matures without gravity.

Compounds of unmatured malt were sent to the station in an unmanned cargo spacecraft in October last year, along with particles of charred oak.

Scientists want to understand how they interact at close to zero gravity.

I'm glad to see that some positive benefits for mankind are still coming out of the space program, feeble as it may be.
