Brewing Beer on a Boat

Andrew at Southern Fried Science tell the story of how he made beer with limited resources while at sea.
You’re six days into a 2 month expedition, and if you were lucky enough to not be on a dry ship, it’s de facto dry by now anyway. You’re eying the ethanol stores, the crew is eying each other, and all hell will break loose if y’all don’t get some sweet water soon. This is no time for artistry.

This is not, as a rule, a terribly good beer (though, with a good brewmaster on board, it can be). This is a beer to pass the time. I can guarantee that if you are careful, it will be at least as good as the cheapest commercial alternative.

A complete list of ingredients and instructions are included. Your results may vary. Link -via Terra Sigillata

I have been a long time fan of Zippy Chippy, but he decided to retire at the top of his game after losing a straight 100 races and being banned from several tracks (one of them due to refusing to leave the starting gate).

Kudos to Bob for mentioning Zippy Chippy. He's a bit of a local hero in Western NY!

As for the Japanese and how they treat most old racehorses, we should remember what happened to 1986 Kenticky Derby Champion "Ferdinand" who was sold to Japan for stud in 1994.
