Most of us don't like warm beer, especially on a hot summer day. And most people hate having to wait a few hours for just-purchased beer to get cold in the refrigerator before we indulge! By following these tips to chill beer quickly, you can speed up chilling - and enjoy it sooner! Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
Chill the Beer
1. Pour a layer of ice in the bottom of the cooler. Depending on the depth of your cooler, this layer should be about two inches deep.
2. Place the beer on top of the ice. You can center the bottles or cans in the ice to prevent them from falling over.
3. Cover the beer with more ice. Fill the cooler if you can; if not, add at least enough ice to reach the neck of the bottles (or about 3/4 of cans, whichever you prefer.)
4. Fill the cooler with enough cold water to cover the beer. This can be done with a hose or sink faucet. If the cooler is too heavy to lift, you can fill a pitcher with water and transfer the water to the cooler in the pitcher.
5. Place the lid firmly on the cooler and place it indoors or in a shady spot outside.
6. Do not open the cooler for at least fifteen minutes. Depending on the temperature of the beer when placed in the cooler, your beer should be cold enough for consumption after about fifteen or twenty minutes in the ice bath. Enjoy!
