Pain_Man Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 cools a beer can down to 30? Fahrenheit Errm, if memory serves me right that's below freezing, who wants a fookin frozen beer. Beer's freezing point is rather lower than water. And, believe it or not, freezing beer doesn't hurt it. I accidentally froze a bottle (thankfully not a can!) of Steinlager. I thawed it out and it tasted great. No damage at all. Of course, in the immediate term I can't argue with you. Frozen beer is like uncured...er never mind. Just not much use.

Pain_Man Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) I never heard of either an "esky" or "chilly bin." I looked it up and, apparently, you all are referring to what we Americans call a cooler, plain and simple. All along I thought you guys were talking about some new "miracle" gadget that keeps your beer cold! Thank you. I had NO idea what the hell they were talking about. I thought it was some Brit joke that Americans didn't get. Instead its a cooler. Uh, why don't y'all just call 'em...coolers? This has got something to do with calling wrenches by the incomprehensible name of "spanner" doesn't it? Edited April 30, 2006 by Pain_Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain_Man Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) All along I thought you guys were talking about some new "miracle" gadget that keeps your beer cold! Nope. Just an esky. It was invented in Oz in the 50s. OK, I'll ask the dumb question. What dost thou mean by "Oz"--and I'm assuming it's not an L. Frank Baum reference. Bernard Shaw's old maxim just hit me full with force: Britain and America: two nations separated by a common language." 'Cause frankly, much as we love y'all , ya do talks funny. And don't even try the "it's our language" ploy ; we both speak dialects descended from 17th century English, whether from the Midlands or the south (sources of the Northern and Southern American dialects respectively). 'Sides, I suspect have more English blood than a goodly number of UK citizens. You guys have 55M people in that tiny island (does that # include Scotland and Wales?). Yet all the British TV I watch, I see so much open space. London has 11M people, the metro area probably even more. You guys must be packed in in your cities.

Pain_Man Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Connie Sewer. She was a foul mouth porn star from the early 1990's. Connie Suer. She was a rabid prosecuting attorney who successfully nailed Connie Sewer. First in real life for evasion of taxes and then in a bizarre twist in her one turn as a porn actress doing Connie Sewer in a film. "doing Connie Sewer in a film"? Doing? You'll have to be a little more specific than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Beer's freezing point is rather lower than water. Just barely. Correct serving temperature for beer is around 3C or 38F, both above the freezing temp of water. And, believe it or not, freezing beer doesn't hurt it. Wrong. Sorry. Freezing beer kills the good bacteria making it go flat. The alcohol doesn?t freeze but the water does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Somewhere, in Australia, colloquially called Oz, there is a prison, called Oz. Inside Oz in Oz, there is the world's most dangerous criminal mastermind. Formerly an idiot, straw for brains, really, once he acquired education, he turned his mind to crime. Constructing a living robot, powered by a broken human heart, and a mutant anthropoid felis leo, knowing no fear through steroid overdose and gene therapy, he is waiting to invade the streets of the world in his armored balloon. He intends to steal the world's gold supplies, paving the streets of his own private nation of Oz with the booty. Any who dare to cross his path will feel the wrath of his weather dominator as he unleashes twister after twister. Yes, he's that smart! The guy's a real wizard!

crockettmann Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Ray Bolger was the scarecrow in Oz. And as to the freezing temp of beer, I personally did almost 30 years of research before my addictive personality got the best of me. In the lands where it gets rather chilly on a regular basis, we've found that you can leave a beer in roughly -10 Farenheit for hours and open it, take the first big drink (think "brain freeze"), and the beverage will still be in liquid form, allowing you to finish it at a leisurely rate. BUT, if you hesitate too long, it will slush up and expand, pushing slush out of the top of the can. True, it is not the recommended temp at which to enjoy a "cold one", but it works for the desperate alcoholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
