Living in the outer Areas Ice too dear?

Try this....

If you are on the farm and dont have a fridge or the local shop is a fair way away.....But you have fertilizer lying around.

Put a mixture of Urea and Water at 50/50 in a bucket or tub, stir it well, then put in your beer....presto, cold beer in 5 minutes.

put a can of beer into a old sock pour petrol on it and than swing it around until petrol evaporates take can out of sock and you have a cold beer

Send out the boy/girl for ice, cheaper than wasting petrol or fertilizer

[HooHaa]

seriously if the cost of ice is limiting, its time for a rethink.

and what is the cost of urea? at least you can drink melted ice.

then of course you could always invest in one of those new-fangled refidgemerators, or whatever the kids are calling them.

The urea will double the size of your beer in minutes making it quite cost effective.

I believe the OP was referring to being out in the country where no electricity was available and there was no close convenience store. Perhaps at the family rice farm, which is quite often a long way from civilization. If the Urea trick works, it could be useful.

I hope you had in mind, putting your beer in the urea, instead of the urea in your beer . Actually I guess you were also thinking about JD instead of beer.

It works on JD too....naturally I have tried that....FIRST.

Your wit tonight sounds like you have been having a couple too....

I read the thread regarding life in Issan in the archives, and though after reading it, issangeorge would be most likely to want to hear that....

I intend to read it all tomorrow, gee theres a good laugh in it from some up there in Issan.

Here's another one. Get a six pack of cans dig a hole in some sand put the cans in,cover up with about 1 inch of sand on top pour petrol on it and light it, when the flames go out dig up and you have cold beers.

Learnt these little tricks from working 10 years in the Australian desert when I use to get in trouble for using fire extinguishes to do the same thing.

Just make sure you read the label on the exinguisher first. I did that at work once but it turned out to be a powder extinguisher instead of CO2. It was a big mess and the chief found out..

5 minutes! That's a long time to wait if you are thirsty!

[coobah666]

rather wait 5 minutes for a cold beer than drink beer with ice cubes

Good English beer like a lot of European beers were and still are made for drinking at room temperature.

Lager ( maidens water as we called it in my youth 1960 +) is meant to be chilled.

[coobah666]

It must only be us with convict heritage that like a cold beer on a hot day
