Hey Folks,
Brewed a winter warmer a few weeks back. The beer was brewed for a holiday party that is taking place in a few days. It hung out at ~68 for about 4 weeks in bottle, now its nicely carbed and tasty. My issue- I don't have a big enough fridge to chill the beer down in order to get carbonation into suspension (that's why we cool it right? still learning.). I do have a nice igloo cooler and a butt ton of fresh, clean snow in the back yard. Could I safely plop a shovel or two of the frozen stuff into the cooler and let it hang out for a few days? Or is this too cold to do the job properly?
Thanks for any input you can offer!
