how do you instant freeze coronas?

Question

i got on youtube and i saw some videos were the beer freezes instantly just by tappin them.

Answer 1

I actually saw the answer to this on another site. I have no scientific explanation, but what the other person said about the water crystals being introduced

apparently its really simple:
you put a beer in the freezer for about a half an hour, making it really cold, but not yet frozen
then, you take it out, and give a firm tap on a (preferably hard) surface. it probably does something along the lines of introducing ice crystals then making it freeze instantly

Answer 2

Essentially, it's a process called super cooling. The liquid is cooled to below freezing in a very clean smooth container. Ice crystals don't form because they have no where to form on.

I don't know exactly how the freezing in the corona example happens. But classical example involves introducing a "nucleation" site, in the form of an ice cube, or even some sand, i.e. somewhere for the ice crystals to start to form on. My guess is that water crystals have formed somewhere above the actual surface of the solution. When you shake the liquid, the water crystal falls in, which sets off the crystallization/solidification.

You do it by cooling the beer to just below freezing. Then shake the bottle. It's that simple.

Answer 3

All you have to do is put the beer in a freezer. Let it get to about 20-22 degrees. But do not let it freeze. Once that is done just shake it or tap it on a counter or table and it will freeze instantly.

Answer 4

I don't know about "freezing" them, but I know that if you put them on ice with cold water and salt they will get very cold in a few minutes.
