Help.

There was a party last night and about seven glass bottles of Sam Adams were mistakenly placed in the freezer.

They reached a foam-pouring-out-of-them-but-still-in-what-seemed-to-be-mostly-liquid-form state.

I know what with Ganalon's thread about the price of hops dodecatupling that such a waste is essentially painfully bloodletting the fine brewed goodness away in great vain.

How do I reverse the damage? The caps still looked like they were properly sealed. Looked like they were properly sealed (I don't want to drink yeast infection on the weekend.) :help: and :thanx:

Have people sought after you upon this issue before? :lol2:

Actually, from what I've heard, freezing seperates the water from the mixture which upon thawing will provide an altered taste to the beverage in question. I'm not a huge beer fan so taste to me is relative since I can only count 1 or 2 types of beers that I actually like the taste of.

Another neat trick I just found on the internet for freezing beer.



This friend would put a bottle of beer in a freezer for a certain length of time - ALMOST long enough to freeze it, but not quite. He'd get it very, very cold but it would stay liquid, and not slushy or hard. Then he'd take it out, very carefully open it - this is a glass bottle we're talking here - and then, with the bottom of a second bottle, give it a good rap on the top - straight down on the mouth of the almost-frozen bottle. What happened next seemed to be magic - in the course of 2-3 seconds, a cross-hatched crystalline lattice of frozen beer would form inside the frozen bottle, from the bottom up, and you could see the crystals reaching up and once they reached the top the thing would be frozen solid.

QFT and thanks.

I think I'm still young enough to appreciate the notion of free alcohol (under any circumstances) = free beer (under any circumstances.)

Don't you mean free alcohol = good alcohol?

My dad does this often.. only he drinks it very quickly as its freezing.

Drink and stop being a pussy. Be grateful they didn't explode and cause you cleanup!

You know those people that think they're funny, and they're really not?




You're one of those people.

Just because someone is a smartass doesn't mean they're funny.

Oh right:

Glad cling wrap has an amazing adhesion to rubber bands and beer bottles.
