    So my brother's landlord just replaced his old fridge (Ironically, it wouldn't stay cold) with a new one. I put my bottles in and woke up to Cantillon ice this morning. It was only set on the middle cold setting... The corks blew out, slush spilled everywhere and the rest froze solid. Sad welcome home for me! I know it's not likely, and most likely common sense, but if you get a new fridge give it a test run and make sure it's not defective and getting too cold. :slight_frown:

    If you are going to post a pic that is NSFW, please label it as such next time :grimacing:

    This hurts to see.

    Oh shit. If it feels better, I've had plenty of great beers get accidentally frozen. ALL were delicious when consumed right away. Thaw those bad boys and have a party! Cheers!

    aaand they're ruined. My fou foune has zero carbonation, is cloudy as hell and tastes like someone dumped a glass of extra water into the bottle. I was holding out hope for them. jklfdajklfwakl

    Life lesson: always run a new fridge for a day or so with a thermometer in it before you put anything else in. Always.
