bizinichisays...sort of like the water one: http://www.videosift.com/video/supercooled-water-instant-ice
InvaderSilsays...That's cool and all...but why does it do it? Anybody?
NordlichReitersays...HOW DO YOU DO THIS.
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
The explanation from the other thread was that it used super-pure distilled water which would not form crystals to allow freezing, even below 0c.
Not sure how this would work with unpure beer though. Stealth Corona viral anyone?
Oatmealsays...This works with any kind of beverage in which there are no floaties, eg, orange juice would not work because there are bits of orange suspended in the liquid. From what I understand, when water freezes, it needs some sort of rough surface or disturbance for crystals to form. I know this works because I tried it with a bottle of spring water (200 ppm dislolved solids, so definatley not pure) after watching the first video here on VS. the seconf the bottle is shook and there is disturbance great enough to allow crystals to form, the bottle freezes over. It is more like a slush and not solid ice, and the bottles that I forgot about were completly frozen solid the next day. I only kept the bottle in for about 3-4 hours and it worked like in the video. I bet that if you put a rock in the bottle or something, the water would freeze and this would not happen.
Oatmealsays...ok... I tried this with tap water in the same bottles, and it did not work at all.. after 3 hours, there was already ice in the bottles. perhaps the water does need a certain degree of purity for this to happen. It would be interesting to see if this happens with any other type of beer, or maybe corona is just very pure.
joedirtsays...Hello? There are like 100 of these videos on YT. It works with any carbonated beverage in a glass bottle (maybe sugar content and nutrasweet would inhibit this).
Anyways, freeze said beer or coke bottle until just before freezing. Rap on surface, the gas that comes out of suspension increases pressure and causes it to freeze. Water in a bottle obviously won't work. Carbonated water in sealed glass bottle (?). Beer in a plastic 20oz bottle (?).
It's probably somewhat related to purity and crystalization sites, but I think the carbonation makes this different from typical supercooled liquid freezing.
Oatmealsays...Regular old water works quite nicely actually, as long as it is relatively pure.
