Hello, we are working on a science experiment is school. this experiment is working around yeast and ethanol fermentation in wine.
It's important to note that our test tube is about the size of a finger. and the volume is 7.6ml. And that we suppose to send this experiment to the International Space Station. The astronaut that will perform the experiment has a limit of about 5 minutes to perform it.
We will measure the efficiency of the fermentation by checking the amount of the CO2.
We need to know some things about yeast :
1) What is the ratio between the yeast and the grape juice ?
2) Will temperature around 39.2F (4C) affect the fermentation ? we would like to stop the process at the middle until it returns to Earth.
3) Where can we get this kind of yeast, and for what price ?
4) Which kind of yeast is the most effective one ?
5) We already know that the fermentation process emits Carbon Dioxide, will a large amount of it damage the yeast or the fermentation ?
6) How long will the fermentation process take ?
7) How long will take the yeast to begin the fermentation ?
8) Which amount of Carbon Dioxide will the yeast emit?
Thank you for your help!
