Really cold night tonight

[MikeBusby]

Don’t forget to bring all your beer inside this evening. I am in the south east, and they are forecasting it to be -8C, which is surely going to be cold enough to freeze our beers.

Mine is stopping in the shed.

 

[Sandimas]

Me too.

I keep a max/min thermometer on top of my bottle stash in the garage, got down to -6c last night near Malvern. What temp does beer freeze at?

I did a Google search and found a couple of websites that indicated that average strength beer would start to freeze at -3C. It was just under that in my shed last night and the beer was OK, but I am not taking a chance with -8C.

Would those that decide to leave it outside report back if it survived, please?

A positively tropical 7.5 in our garage at the mo. I hasten to add it’s attached to the house (and next doors garage) and so the only exposed bit is the door. Perfect cellar temperature!

Will do, but it's been stored out there for over 10 years and we've had colder than this. It was minus double figures on my morning commute one year.

On a plus note it'll save me putting the Summer Breeze into the brew fridge for cold crash..
I switched the heat pad off this morning and took away the insulation and the hops have already dropped.

Having refit my brew-shed specifically to give me better temperature control, I’m pleased to say I’m now getting the benefits.
