| Secrets Revealed by Mr. Brewski So you want to know some of my secrets about beer? I'll let you in a few as long as you promise not to tell anyone. Paper Bottle Opener Fold a sheet of paper in half vertically four times, then once lengthwise to create a long and thick V-shaped piece. Compress and wedge the folded paper under the bottle cap with one hand while gripping the top of the neck with the other (the paper should rest between your index finger and the cap). Then pop the bottle open with one sharp maneuver. Beer Chiller Wrap a dampened paper towel around the body of a beer bottle. Then, place the wrapped bottle in the freezer for 15 minutes or so. 15 minutes or so later and you'll have an ice cold brew in your hands! Instant Cool If you need to chill multiple bottles at once, toss them into a small tub along with ice and water. Next add salt--yes, salt--to the tub, which will lower the water's freezing point and leave you with significantly colder beers! Cool a Pitcher A genius way to ensure your pitcher of beer stays nice and cool is to fill a plain cup with ice, then gently place it into the pitcher--the cup will stay afloat while the ice inside will keep the pitcher's temperature down!. |
