Beer Emergency!

How long 'til you can the A/C fixed?

 

Coolers, my friend. And a new A/C, stat.

 

Quick, to the fridge!

 

Got it. Alright, your only option is coolers/fridge. I get that you're trying to avoid temp cycles, but you just don't have much of a choice here.

 

Coolers. The cheapo 7-11 kind will do. Keep those babies cool & you're golden. :-)

 

Pick up some thermal bags and some ice paks

 

go buy a large plastic storage box 40 - 80 gallons or so..rubber maid etc (cheaper than a cooler)

Then go get some ice from the grocery store. 10 - 15 pound bags
Put the bottles in ziploc bags if you don't want the melted ice water to ruin the labels.

Or ship the beers to be and i'll keep them cold for ya.

 

Go requisition a neighbor's fridge haha

 

If you just let them sit for that span of time in that heat they're in trouble anyway. Classic lesser of two evils type deal.

 

Start drinking

 

I notice almost all the responders to this thread haven't been on BA all that long. The "my beer got hot!" shows up every summer. In the winter, we get "My beer got cold!"

Not to worry. Do you seriously think your beer stayed the same cellar temperature all the way from Europe to your home? Beer suffers through many temperature fluctuations from the brewery to you and survives quite well, thank you. That temperature isn't going to hurt the beer.

 

You are likely correct, but 90+ degrees for almost a week just seems like an 'err on the side of caution' type deal since the beers are special to him.

 

No, relax, they will be cool,nompun, till your ac is going

 

It probably sat in a hot freight depot somewhere between Europe and here, or a hot truck or a hot warehouse. It really won't make a difference. Really.

 

All true facts. What can I say, I'm just worried for our guy. :-)

 

You'll be fine. Just move them to a dark closet and wait for the AC to be fixed.
