- Test setup "Rice in aluminum bottle" 

- Take the house battery from storage unit

My rice-in-a-beer-bottle experiment. I was looking for a good way to have small portions of rice, pasta, flour, etc stored.
The experiment is showing if there is no moisture or water coming into the bottle then it will surely be safe in a cabinet.
Steps of the experiment:
Take an empty aluminum beer bottle, wash it out, fill it with rice, dump the bottle into seawater and let it sit for a few days.
The experiment was successful 👍🏼 and no moisture was to be found inside of the bottle.
The last picture does show the way I will store the bottles in a cabinet or locker on the boat.
The main outcome of this experiment is that we now have a legitimate reason to drink more beer ... 🍺
