    I’ve done this hundreds of times, never intentionally. As a beer freezing expert, I recommend that you’re very vigilant if you use Stella Artois beer. Their bottles are the thinnest I’ve ever seen and they love to shatter in the freezer if left too long. Some beers bottles are better or worse at handling freezing the contents accidentally because you forgot. Stella Artois is the worst when it comes to how easily they shatter and the mess they make. Yeungling is on the other end of the spectrum. The cap may pop off, but I’ve never had one shatter.

    I discovered this by accident about a year ago-not with beer but with carbonated soft drinks. After the initial rather colorful experience we began tweak the process just a bit and use the application for a broader range of beverages/occasions. I thought it was due to the beverage being opened and suddenly exposed to air. Thanks for explaining this.

    Not sure why people are so unwilling to simply try this out rather than complain about it. It costs a whole $1, maybe $1.50, for a bottle of beer. This is about as low risk as new experiences come.

    • @yarondavidson6434
      @yarondavidson6434 Місяць тому +3

      I don't understand the complaints. But the being weary of trying, I can understand. Two main reasons I'd consider valid:
      1. Some of us drink beer for the taste rather than for alcohol or purely social settings. Which usually means more expensive, possibly much more expensive, beers than $1-$1.5 .
      2. For putting in the freezer, it requires some attention, and probably repeat efforts on the timing. If it wasn't enough time, you get the very new exciting "cold beer" 😀, and now need a series of experiments with controlled times, which is more effort. But worse, if you leave it for too much time, the bottle may explode, the timing will vary between beers and bottles, and while some will just break and make a puddle others may spray all around the freezer and possibly get you glass shards everywhere. The effort of cleaning would be a much higher cost than the price of the bottle. It's a genuine risk.

      @@theoriginalbridgetconnors That wastes a relatively large amount of salt (and so also higher cost), as well as a lot more ice than most people normally have in their home (so noticeable amount of extra work). Again, not at all impossible, but far from a trivial experiment that just costs a buck to try. There's a reason Dan didn't actually recommend this to the viewers for home use, and only mentioned trying putting the beer in the freezer.
      Also... it doesn't really change the breaking/exploding risk. True that it substantially improves the worst-case if it happens (no need to clean, or deal with glass fragments, in the home freezer), but you can still lose the beer if you wait too much, and have to clean the bucket and try again (with more salt and ice).

      As long as the beverage doesn't lose all its carbonation it still works. I've done it many times with soda.
