The Danish Distillery Making Spirits out of Fir Trees and Chicken Skin

Copenhagen-based Empirical Spirits is on a mission to bring new flavour to alcoholic spirits. Having previously worked at famed restaurant Noma, Lars Williams is eagerly leading an investigation into brewing and distilling, looking at flavours, traditions, technologies and techniques to see if things could be done differently. Why can’t spirits be seasonal, as food can, or have vintages, as wine does? Why should spirits be required to have an ABV of 40 per cent when they could taste far better at 20 per cent? WIRED went to Copenhagen to meet the team and see how they produce experimental drinks out of hacked-together machinery.

The RAF's New G-Force Rig Will Spin You Until You Vomit

One of the toughest forces military pilots have to deal with is gravitational force, or G-force. To make sure they can handle this while in the air, they have to practice an anti-G straining maneuver on the ground, by spinning around in a centrifuge while controlling a flight simulator. WIRED senior editor Gian Volpicelli visits the new Thales High-G Training Facility at an RAF base in Cranwell, Lincolnshire, to learn how pilots train to cope with forces of up to 9G – and has a go himself. #flying #raf #royalairforce #planes #gforce
