A brewery on the ISS???

>>11201680
the ISS guy at the prelaunch press conference wouldn’t say

[Anonymous No.11201698]

>>11201680
brewery processes tend to outgas and also be pressure vessels, I wouldn't think they would allow that on the ISS
unless it's an external experiment

Do breweries blow up THAT often?

[Anonymous No.11201758]

>>11201698
>>11201719
I take it neither of you have ever made beer or wine before. The fermentation process off gases a relatively small amount of CO2 but that is it. If they do ferment it under pressure as some commercial brewers do, it's general under 20 PSI and they would probably put in a blow off valve or similar to stop it from building any higher. My guess is that they'll just keep it at one bar so they can compare it to the pressure on Earth.
>>11201757
No. Not even moonshine stills made by amateurs blow up that often despite the myth.

[Anonymous No.11201768]

>>11201757
they've blown up even once which is too much
the actual serious issue is DEADLY concentrations of CARBON DIOXIDE gas

>>11201758
I mean:
Compare the results to those on Earth*

Apparently the ISS has a pressurized volume of 32,333 cubic feet and a 5 gallon bucket of beer fermenting would put out around 30 cubic feet of CO2. I'm pretty sure their scrubbers can handle it since that amount is near equal to a person staying aboard for three days.
>>11201768
I'm sure Boeing would love to build your 200 million dollar safe space brewery, supporting American jobs with American beer.
