What are your guesses as to the time it takes an ice cold 12 oz bottle to warm to 40, 45, and 50F (4.4, 7.2, and 10C) at room temp?
I'm setting up a schedule for pulling beers out of ice for a beer/food dinner. We want to be sure the beer is at the proper serving temperature and need to figure out what time to pull it from the ice.
Thanks in advance. |

Have you no thermometer and a spare hour? Please report your results.
My SWAG:
RT @ 70
12 oz long neck recappable brown glass bottle
33 to 40 19 min
33 to 45 37 min
33 to 50 56 min
What do I win? |

Spare hour? What the hell is that?
Besides, I'm at work and I thought I'd pose the question to see if anyone has already done this before I tackle it.
First I'll have to chill it to 33F - I don't have any beer that cold! |

Will you be using a loading dock fan to cool the bottles, or just rely ambient temperatures? Also, room temperature is considerably different depending on what part of the country/world you live in (I consider it to be 68°F). I suspect relative humidity would also play a role...drier 68°F would cool quicker than humid 68°F due to evaporative cooling, no?
FWIW, it takes a bottle of ale about a half hour to warm up to the temperature I like, so I would say 15/30/45 min would be a good guess for 40/45/50°F. |

Ah, here is the loading dock fan reference!

That is what trolling is all about, right "Chumley?"

You got it backwards Chumley, or the question is worded backwards. High humidity will warm it up faster due to the condensation on the bottle. |

Unless I am missing something here, we are saying the same thing, no? I am saying that low humidity will cool quicker, you are saying high humidity will warm faster?
Also, Dan L. says:
blah, blah, blah
Soon, Dan L.'s peanut gallery will say:
blah, blah, blah
And what to what value to this thread have any of you snippy whiners positively contributed to? |

Perhaps a better way of working it out would be to see how long it takes a room temperature beer to cool to the desired temperature when placed in ice. |

There's no need to guess. Newton's got a law that covers it. |

Sorry, TJB. That won't work. Warming occurs when the phlogiston moves from the cooler beer to the warmer air. Sir Derrick Dinglebeery, in his paper "On the Warming of the Earth due to Phlogiston Shortages" states emphatically that glass is a one-way conductor of phlogiston. So in the experiment you propose, the beer would only cool at the rate of phlogiston movement through the cap. I am sure that you have personally seen that this is true. When you put your beer into the 'frig, it takes forever for it to cool. Q.E.D.
I do nothing, and I do it fairly well.

dhacker, Dinglebeery's pioneering work on phlogiston transfer at the beginning of the 20th century failed to take into account the rotation of the earth. This accelerates the process in the southern hemisphere and retards it at the northern latitudes at which Dinglebeery conducted his experiments. It's also one of the reasons the Australians serve their beer numbingly cold.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. But Dingleberry, being an Englishman drank his beer warm which tended to cloud both his math and his mind.

Being an Englishman there is no chance that Dingleberry would have let his beer get anywhere near ice! |
