I watched a Mthbusters that I had missed yesterday which tested the
fastest way to cool beer.


So I tried the experiment myself yesterday with a couple of Playmate
coolers.


First cooler had a six pack of Diet Pepsi, ice and salt water. I used
about a 1/4 box of salt on the ice and in the second cooler a six pack
of Diet Pepsi with just ice. I put both coolers on the rear deck, in
the sun, of my Ranger at 6 PM.


As expected, the ice/salt combination cooled the soda to 36 degrees F
in roughly fifteen minutes which matches the Mythbusters experiment.
As of 10 PM last evening, the ice only soda only reached 45 degrees.


However, the interesting piece of this was this morning. The ice/salt
water combination over night kept the soda cooled and as of ten
minutes ago, the water was at 50 degrees F. The straight ice cooler
water was at 62 degrees.


Cool huh?


Get it - cool?


You should have taken the temp of the salt water and fresh water last
night during the experiment. I guess the salt allows the water to stay
colder in that cooler.


The temp of the water would be similar to the temp of the soda.

You wanna go up to Webster Lake tomorrow morning and fish the
approaching cold front?

Fishing should be spectacular.- Hide quoted text -

Jah mon... I will head up this afternoon and get a licence for Mass.
Probably head straight up 83 should find me something, dad will enjoy
the ride. BTW, dad tells me I have kin folk with property on the lake,
I never knew that.

Call you this evening. Got some pretty good lake tackle, what size
line should I bring, note, I am into light tackle fishing.
