Beer cooling methods

[Papa Lazarou]

Well, we actually use quite a bit of dry ice at work for, wait for it, keeping things cold...

Apart from the obvious "oh damnation, it's stuck to my hand" and "I feel like I'm suffocating, oh I am suffocating" problems with it, it's great.  Not really a goer for Le Mans though, because as BigH said, where would we get it, and I'm not going to try to sneak a bootful of the stuff out of work and onto an overnight ferry!  I can see me trying to start my car and finding that my petrol's frozen and I have a colony of emporere penguins living on the back seat of the Celica.  So, I think it may be a combination of a bucket of salty iced water, the Stella bar, and the often over-looked "where's the nearest CA flag - I'll scrounge a cold one over there" method.

See you here.  I'll be the one with my hands covered in freezer burns...

This looks interesting just a shame it miller who are using it, technology to rescue again. Might upset the on-site beer vendors though and all self cooling technology will be banned by the ACO as it's not in the spirit of the event on 24hrs of drinking.

... buckets of water, dry ice, fridges ... hey, wake up guys, we live in the 21st century. Think big


by the way - Cooling trailers like the one on the pic don't need a nuclear power plant to run, this one is less than 0.2 KW, so even a very small genny can feed it. There are renting agencies for those.

Reminds me of our darkest hour back in '04. Sunday night on the wasteland that just a few hours before had been Bleu Sud. Out of food and 3 warm stubbies between 6, just lost to Les Bleus at footie, had a big fight with one of our group and pikeys everywhere. Then when all seemed lost, 2 Aussies with a chiller van pulled up, they were desperately trying to get rid of a mountain of ice cold stella at 15 euro a case!   It was the coldest most loveliest beer ever! A miracle of biblical proportions.
