Keeping Your Beer Cold

[Sian]

This thread is for the general discussion of the Article Keeping Your Beer Cold.

 

[Two of usI]

we have a portable freezer that we always take away and it's stored in the garage, on the way out and whilst away, the temp is set at 4deg, therefore keeping beer nice and cold, once we set off for home...... the temp is set at -18 ( lowest setting) and is then filled with, normally fish and langoustines for when we get back

 

[Tombola]

Almost a re mortgage to pay for the lithium solar and inverter to keep the beers nice and chilled.

 

[Just smiffy]

My local bar/pub does it for me….

A cold beer tastes nicer in a glass straight from the freezer

I put my pint glass in the fridge with my beer, that first one is so nice.

 

[Sleepy]

I think we're all in agreement, beer is good

Oh yes, but not if you are driving. Solo visits to a pub are little fun when you see your favourite beers lined up on tap and you are driving.

I am absolutely delighted with our VEVOR 20L portable fridge freezer. It's been sitting there for two months keeping drinks at 5C whatever the weather - 95C yesterday!
£135 well spent.

Paradoxically, the 15 years old Dometic PowerFridge is still making ice...

You must be a larger lout
Beer should be served at 10°c.

I'd get a slide out photocopier like eddievanbitz

Agree. The Arrival Beer is a ritual. Our choice is usually Moretti, but I wish they came in a proper sized tin. 330ml? Barely a sip.

Our fridge is inconveniently always full of food, so we got one of these:

60L Portable Car Fridge, Freezer, 12/24V Dual Zone Compressor - DL15 - Dellonda

Extra Large Capacity - 60L portable compressor fridge freezer cool box, plenty of room for a small party or picnic to use. Enjoy the Outdoors - Ideal for long road trips, camping or fishing trips, caravan holidays and general travel use. Fitted with two wheels and handle for easy...

For the garage, but looking at getting a 12v socket wired up to our 500kg trailer so it can live in there.

Didn't pay that price either!

Nope. Cold beer. Always. I like warm beer well enough, but after a hefty drive through the North Italian plain, it must be cold.

 

[David and Sally]

Sally just has to stare at a beer and it freezes.

I know how it feels.

In my camper I have a 12v cool box on a slide out mechanism, which is on 24/7 it uses so little power.

It will take exactly 2 X 18 slabs of Stella Artois, keeping them as cold as I like, as it is compressor run so will go down to -22* in any ambient temperature.

Portable freezer boxes are great. Mine is a Dometic and a bit overpriced, however works great. Currently at home for overflow ice cream, but normally in the motorhome garage where I have fitted a double 12v socket for it.

 

[Rjcamper]

Beer glass in freezer after a small spritz of water before travel, beer in fridge, by the time we get to destination, beer is cold, beer glass nice and frosted......

 

[Gina M]

For us. Fridge in van full of food. Freezer box plugged in garage for beers and cider and glasses in freezer too, after a 10 mile hike I love a cider

Our current setup isn't great, but the Vario will be better.

That will have a larger fridge freezer inside and a portable fridge freezer in the boot for when needed.
So looking forward to having a bit more space for these things

John Barrett - If you were buying again, would you still go with the Vevor? (not ordered one yet so looking for recommendations)

 

[David and Sally]

95C whatever the weather - 95C yesterday!

John Barrett 95C - Wow ..you must be melting.

Well, I did say that I was delighted with it. Will that do?

What make is it and Will it get done down to 2c I like my Heineken cold

 

[makems]

I have to say Jim - that tin of Stella you so generously donated to me during the half time break in our gig at Newark was freezing cold! Just what I needed at the time to cool down. Whatever you use to chill your beers works spectacularly well.

 

[Langtoftlad]

If on EHU
<Broken link removed>

If on 12v

It's Halfords compressor and freeze's down to -22c I purchased when on a offer £200 work's great.

 

[Neckender]

We have been using a outwell 35 litre cool box which. works quite well but I’ve bought today an Alpicool TWW35 fridge freezer and 2 100watt folding solar panels.
The Alpicool runs off mains, 12volt , solar and also has an inbuilt lithium batter pack which can run the fridge up to 10 hours.

John.

Proper Brits drink warm beer!

Some warm Brits drink warm beer. The cooler Brits drink cold beer. Colder the better. I'm off for one now.

Does yours work the compressor on 12V?

I have the Mobicool MCF40 but the compressor only works on mains, on 12v its the Peltier cooling which is gash when the weather is warm.

Edit: Just re-read the instructions for the Coolbox and there is not mention of different cooling between 12v and 240v so maybe I'm being stupid and just assuming something......
