Leaving Ice Cold Water In Chest When Refilling Ice?

blacksockdown · Apr 18, 2015

Yardwork day. Nothin better than ice cold beer from cooler when doing so.There is some icy cold water still in it from yesterday.ive been told to leave it in when refilling with ice. There can't be a better bunch of experts on this subject then here. lol

Yup. Liquid cooling is more effective than air/ice.

If there is no ice left I drain about half the water then add beer than ice.

I stayed at a Howard Johnson last night so here we go.

The best way to keep ice solid is a shit ton of salt. This obviously not a good idea if you use cooler ice to make cocktails but for sealed cans and bottles it's great.

It will still melt but it will be colder.

Yes sir, water will technically make the ice melt faster, but only becuase it is cooling your beer faster :thumbsup

Salt will bring the melting point of the ice lower. It will last a shorter period, but will be colder. Salty water and ice is the absolute best way to chill a beer quickly. :thumbsup

Water cools the drinks better because it touches the entire can vs ice touching it with only its edges. The cold air gaps are not nearly as effective in cooling as the liquid.

I had no idea there is so much science to get your beer cold. [emoji2][emoji106]

What if your cooler leaks?

Enen · Apr 19, 2015

I hear the guys with AO coolers don't get this experience very often

The last time I used Salt in the ice, I put room temperature bottles of beer and in 90 minutes it had the frozen plug in the neck. Worked great.

You waited 90 minutes?!

same here if the water is still really cold i drain about half then top with ice.Wanna chill it up some more throw some salt rocks in there too.

DILLIGAF · Apr 20, 2015

So.....for maximum chill....Add beer, add ice and sprinkle salt (kosher) on top?

Friggin' rocket scientist an' shit

brgrcru · Apr 20, 2015

I thought salt makes ice melt ? Why do they salt the roads then. Now I am really confused:eek

We must have missed the rocket scientist class in school....lol

Anybody clarify this?

TBI · Apr 20, 2015

Salt does make ice melt, but for some reason it gets colder as it's melting, that's why you dump salt on the ice when you're making homemade ice cream

Try it then come back and tell your results.

yes it works very good.

Happens to me all the time! God Damn frozen beer!!!:fsakes Good thing for Whiskey

Brad's · Apr 20, 2015

Best way to chill a beer quickly at home is to wet a paper towel and wrap it around the beer and stick it in the freezer. Don't believe me? Try it.

Saltwater freezes at a lower temp than fresh water. Thus by putting salt in with it you're forcing it to that lower temperature. Some will melt but what's left is colder.

Oversimplified: ice releases 'cold' when it melts. Salt forces it to melt more which releases more cold.

My chemistry teacher is probably having a heart attack somewhere right now. Lol

If you have an AO like I do then a co2 fire extinguisher works great. Ice cold beer in 30 seconds.

Get a co2 extinguisher or two and fill your AO with beer. Discharge the extinguishers into your cooler and there you have it cold beer.

The few times I've actually done it it wasn't really a mess. It's a co2 extinguisher there is no powder or anything like that.
