What's the fastest way to get a beer really cold ??

Question

I really need one, but too warm to drink. A refridgerator takes too long !!!!!

Answer 1

The Mythbusters had an episode with this very question.

The quickest method is to submerge it in ice-water mixed with salt in a cooler. Saltwater remains liquid at colder temperatures, is why. Per their test, it took about 3½ minutes for a 12 ounce can to get to drinkably cold from room temp.

Answer 2

A single beer? Use a CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguisher until the outside is frosty.

For greater than one just get a regular cooler, put the beer in the empty cooler until its 1/2 to 3/4 full... top with ice. Add cold or cool water to the half-way mark, replace any ice that melted. The beer will be cold in about 15 minutes. Always use water when preparing a coooler because water is a better conductor of cold than air, which actually acts as a insulator.

Answer 3

Dump some ice and salt in a cooler. Then add enough water to make it slushy. Drop your beer in there for 15 minutes. Liquid Nitrogen will just freeze your beer solid within 30 seconds. The freezer will get it cold, but you'll have to make sure it doesn't freeze and it takes longer than the salty ice water method.

Answer 4

PUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO IT FOR 3 MINUTES

if you're willing to spend $40 on a cold pack, then you can always use a fire extinguisher on the selected beer for exactly three minutes and it will be the perfect temperature

have you ever seen the show mythbusters on the discovery channel, they tried it out and have the exact times for the time vs. method for the temperature

the next times for that episode will be on:

Fastest way to cool a six-pack: use a nitrogen extinguisher on it and it will be icy-cold in three minutes. Saltwater with ice came second, followed by freshwater and ice, followed by the fridge.

Answer 5

I put one in the sink. let ice cold water pour over it and never collect, i then put it in the freezer after a few minutes. i feel it is better than just the freezer.

but i drink it warm if i want a BEER NOW and only have warm beer

Answer 7

salty ice water works but to make it faster and you just want to get to the first one fast put the salt and ice water in container and open the beer before you put in freezer or cooler, just the one you want right now needs to be opened and the others will be ready when you are. Have fun....

Answer 8

Put it in ice, salt the ice. This is the same way to make homemade ice cream. The salt causes the ice to melt, when ice melts it pulls heat out of whatever is next to it. Your beer will get frosty cold.

Answer 9

the fastest is in a cooler, ice the beer down, pour salt over the ice. they will get cold really quick

Answer 10

Put it in the freezer! Sometimes I will take one out of the frig and put it in the freezer and my next one will be really cold. Don' leave it in too long tho.
