HOW TO BREW BEER IN A COFFEE MAKER, USING ONLY MATERIALS COMMONLY FOUND ON A MODESTLY SIZED OCEANOGRAPHIC RESEARCH VESSEL

By Andrew Thaler

About the post author “Andrew Thaler is a graduate student studying deep-sea biology. When not in the lab, he spends his time out on the water, usually swearing at his boat while simultaneously sacrificing some important tool to Poseidon in a desperate attempt make the motor start. He is also a recreational beer brewer, and these two hobbies have melded together to create this handy guide for when emergency rations run out. He writes at southernfriedscience.com.”

    As a boater, who sometimes is out for 3 months at a time bobbling about in the Bahamas, it is extremely important to think outside the box. BRAVO! Just don’t get mixed up and put creamer in the beer … lol!
