If you are like me, then you probably can relate to eggs. What I mean by this is that the past week has felt like I am being scrambled in a pan every time I am dragged outside of my carton.
Now, you probably already know that beer is good. And I am sure you know that you are not supposed to put ice in your beer. These are both correct. However, everybody knows that a refreshing beer just does not stay cold enough during a hot day! Warm beer sucks, so how can you keep it cold in this heat?
Once again, SCIENCE has the solution: the problem with ice cubes in your beer (or any drink) is that as they absorb the heat from your drink - they melt! This dilutes your otherwise tasty refreshment into bland, watery blah. The solution? Make ice cubes out of whatever you are drinking! I know what you're thinking. "But beer contains alcohol, and everybody knows that ethyl alcohol freezes at minus 114 C! My freezer cant freeze that!"
THIS IS TRUE - but you are forgetting that beer only contains a small percentage of alcohol, and so it actually freezes pretty nicely in a standard freezer. It turns out a little bit like a slushy that isn't slushy. Now, it does have a tendency to foam up more when you first pour. However, it also has a tendency to be delicious.
So make some brew-cubes and have a cold one on science!
NOTE: THIS CAN BE APPLIED TO ALMOST ANY DRINK. DON'T EVER HAVE A WATERY TEA/SODA/WATER AGAIN!
