what is a safe low temperature to store beer at?

Question

At what point will most domestic beers freeze? Anyone know this or where I can find the info?

Okay, obviously beer does not freeze at 32 degrees, but is 25 safe? 20? I need to leave my brew in the car so my roomates wont steal it, and its getting kinda cold here...

Answer 1

It's got to get pretty cold for it to freeze enough to cause anything bad to happen. And plus you should buy bottles since I've never seen a beer in a bottle freeze enough to explode.

Answer 2

As long as it's above freezing you will be fine(34-36). The colder the better I say.

Most domestic draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold. The temperature of the beer must be maintained between 36-38°F all the way to the point of dispense. Temperatures above 38°F will cause foam and promote sour/cloudy beer. When temperature rises above 50-55°F, bacteria growth rapidly begins to spoil flavor and cloud the beer. Simply put, keg beer storage can be compared to milk storage: "if it is not kept cold, it will spoil."


This site says something totally different so you be the judge.

OK so make sure you put it inside of a cooler so if it does explode it won't make a mess in your car. Good Luck.

Answer 3

38 degrees is perfect

Answer 4

25 will make it a little slushy but still very drinkable and quiet refreshing

Answer 5

98.6 degrees is perfect. That's what temperature I store it. Right in my tummy:)

Whatever you do, don't let the cans explode. That would be considered alcohol abuse.

Answer 6

i would say... the freezer! as long as it does not freeze the beer
