For the climatically challenged (like me)

Desired ale temp = 11.0 celsius equivalent to: 51.8 fahrenheit

Incorrect ale temp = 26.0 celsius equivalent to: 78.8 fahrenheit

I'd have to agree; I wouldn't want a 80 degree ale! I usually drink mine a bit cooler than 52 tho.. mid to upper 40's usually.

For me, just as bad as beer that is too warm is beer that forms ice crystals as it hit the mug. If I wanted a slushie I would go to Dairy Queen.

Here's a quick and rough rule-of-thumb way to convert F <-> C and people will be fooled into thinking you're smart:

Want C to F? Add 14 and double.

Example: 11C + 14 = 25. 25 x 2 = 50F (Close enough)

Want F to C? Divide by 2 and subtract 14.

Example: 78F / 2 = 39. 39 - 14 = 25C (Close enough)

Yep, that's the one we always used. Indeed close enough. (But maybe not for the OC!)

6% Beer will freeze (bottled) at 27F. I used to keep my vault at 28F. I sold 3 times as much as the convenience store next door that kept their vault at 40F.

BRILLIANT!!

I'm with you.. I buy the coldest beer I can lay my paws on. I don't intend to drink it in the parking lot.. it goes into a cooler with ice. When it comes out.. it's just right. Like most folks, I don't give a rats behind what the hell the 'exact' temp is.. on a hot day all i give a damm about is...

it's Freakin COLD..... *ahhhhhhh* man, that's good!
