RE: MRE Menu 16: Chicken Burrito Bowl
I do essentially the same as MB, but you must be careful not to let your beer freeze:
The freezing point (°C) of beer = (-0.42 × A) + (0.04 × E) + 0.2, where A is the percent of alcohol content by weight, and E is the original gravity of the wort (°Plato). Therefore, each 1% increase in alcohol content lowers the freezing point by 0.42° C and each increase in gravity of 1° Plato raises it by 0.04°C. Thus, no beer will freeze at -1°C, and products at higher alcohol concentrations (including high-gravity brews prior to dilution) will withstand even lower temperatures.
So, if your ABV is 7% and your OG was 1.07, you'd get the following:
A = 5.6
E = 16.84
(-0.42*5.6) + (0.04*16.84) + 0.2 = -1.4784*C or 29.33888*F
