Yeast is the most popular organism for the biology folks out there - so why not modify it to glow in the dark and use it in beer? Think of the humorous and entertaining applications.
Have you been drinking? Lets take out the blacklight. Beer glowing in the bottle would be great fun at parties.
(??) different method, same result

looks like these guys have beaten the yeast people too it, with the added effect of not needing a constant uv source. the pic at the top says it all [cposs, Nov 17 2000, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Picture the scene. You're sitting quietly in your car with a faint green glow coming from your lips. A police officer steps up to the drivers door.
|
|
| |
"Have we been drinking sir?"
|
|
| |
Hmmmm.
What glows in, may also glow out... |
|
| |
You mean it doesn't glow now? Uh-Oh. |
|
| |
Heavy doses of ionizing radiation are known to cause cancer, and certain strongly radioactive substances "glow in the dark" due to Cerenkov radiation and fluorescence. Substances which glow in the dark are not necessarily carcinogenic, however, as evidenced by Biotoy. |

| |
During the winter months, just imagine the potential for writing your name in the snow! |
|
| |
(Assuming the body doesn't metabolise the glow-in-the-dark component, of course.) |
|
| |
Think about it BigThor, you wouldn't even NEED snow to write your name in. You could do it anywhere and it would stay! |
|
| |
OK, I'll take that line of reasoning to next step... Guys, especially after a whole buncha beers, run for the risk of sporting trowser-fronts that look particularly unattractive in night clubs, should he inadvertantly drip slightly, or suffer an after-squirt. |
|
| |
Hey Danrue don't forget about the shoe!!!!!! (dribble,dribble) |

"Guinness Lumi-Stout(tm) -- The Dark Beer That's A Little
Bit Brighter." |
|
| |
Why stop there? We need glow in the dark Liquor too! |
|
| |
Gin and Tonics glow under blacklight, maybe it's the Quinine in the tonic water. |
|
| |
PeterSealy's addition to this idea definitely adds to its appeal. Makes it useful to a larger audience, including non-drinkers. And danrue, it's not just guys who get the drips. I've seen this phenomenon in both genders, though I'll spare you the details. |
|
| |
Glow-in-the-dark stuff is fascinating. You know, if you use a blacklight to look for scorpions at night, you'll find them--they glow, too. Pretty common knowledge, but I just felt like sharing. |
|
| |
If scorpions glow, then why not just put a few in each can of beer? Kinda like the worm in the tequila bottle. |
|
| |
drunks to try and share a lot of things with people... |
|
| |
Good spot cpos. Judging from the article, I wouldn't be surprised if they go full time into manufacturing novelty items and give up the boat trips altogether. How easily science is perverted. |
|
| |
Check out the link I added. Here is a company that makes a safe (or so they claim) edible glowing additive. |
|
| |
Glow in the dark cough syrup! |
|
| |
I don't think glow in the dark yeast would work with beer. In (nearly all) commercial beers, all the yeast is strained out so their beers can be the crystal clear brews we're used to. |
|
| |
You'd have to add some other glowing agent that stays in the beer. The tips of lanternfish perhaps? Lightning bugs butts? |
|
| |
If you drink enough your whole body will glow! |
|
| |
What about just brewing it from rivers close to Chernobyl or Three Mile Island... or some other "hot spot"? |
|
| |
I hear there's something in cat's piss that glows under blacklight. |
|
| |
It's not just true for cats, [Aegis]. Take a blacklight into a gas-station mens' room. Blugh! |
|
| |
Oh, and don't pollute my beer, thanks. Beer is made of water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. You can use some wheat or oats too, but I'll pass on corn and rice. |
|
| |
(Whoops, I just became a necromancer!) |
|
| |
How about glow in the dark toilet water. No need to turn on the light to find the target after so many green beers. |
|
| |
taking [danrue]'s post too far - In a nightclub - "Hey Dude, your trousers are glowing!" |
|
| |
Of course - //Miller Light//! |
|
| |
Isn't there a lyric in Ziggy Stardust - "Just a beer light to guide us" ? |
|
| |
//Hmm, Lead by a bottle more like!// |
|
| |
Just encountered this idea. Would save a fortune on lighting in an offlicense. |
