^ a little ice distillation :-) Yum! I do that on purpose with apfelwein
I wish I could do this every time. I didn't,t even know there was ice until after I started racking and wasn't watching and about half the Carboy was empty.
I finished my kegerator and was waiting for my beer to finish fermenting. I put the beer in the keg and then turned the fridge on with the beer in it. I went down yesterday and tried to get some beer out the tap and nothing happened. I thought well maybe the fridge is to cold and it froze in the line. I turned it down a little. Today went down to get some... same thing. I thought that's weird so I opened the corny and guess what. I have a beer popsicle. Is my beer ruined? I unplugged the fridge to let it thaw out.
No its far from ruined. I made a venna lager into a large ice cube once and it ended up being one of the best beers I've ever made. Just let it thaw slowly.
I've accidentally frozen both a keg and a carboy I was cold crashing due to just throwing then in new fridges (2 separate times lol). Both were absolutely fine after I took them out and let thaw at room temperature. I wouldn't worry, just may need to give it extra time to carb now as you possibly lost whatever you had before it froze.
