Kevrig Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I always take a box of frozen Strongbow to festivals and have never had a cracked can. Makes for a perfect drink on Saturday morning, still OK on Sunday too if you have an ice box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhysieg Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 They will definitely 'explode', just as a can of any juice/lager would if you put it in the freezer for too long, which overnight is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 i had a crate of 24 carlings in the freezer overnight last year. only 2 cracked. i was just wondering wether cider would be any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhysieg Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's all about how much it expands when it freezes. If you can work out it's density and how much space there is in the can for it to expand into then you'll have your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhysieg Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Carling is just like water, if it's a real beer the chances are thus greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
