a couple of weeks ago, we had a discussion about cooling beer. we pretty much figured that cooling beer in salt water/ice was the best method. Tonight, they tested beer cooled in a fridge, freezer, ice, ice with water, ice with water and salt. The results are beer in salt water cooled in 5 minutes, ice water 15, and the rest were much higher. Interestingly though, spraying a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on a beer cools it the quickest, roughly 2 minutes... Anyways, i'll edit that link in once i'm done searching if someone doesn't beat me to it.
now they're making beer cooling contraptions. pretty interesting.
by the way, the redhead vegetarian chick (kari??) is really cute to me... in a girl next door kinda way. i'm not partial to the tattoo chick.
edit: it was AD who brought it up
