Id like to see the result when the cap is taken off, i dont think it's freeezing, just looks that way, probabaly the air compressed to the top of the bottle is not letting the beer move when they turned it upside down

It really is freezing. What's happening is the liquid is getting super cooled, below its temperature that its supposed to freeze. If you have a very smooth bottle and no movement at all, on some occasions it will not freeze, but as soon as there is a movmement in the liquid it will freeze. Pretty sweet stuff.

But how do you do it?

You can do the same thing with a bottle of spring water.

Get it right to the freezing point and it will remain liquid until it's agitated and crystalizes.

How do you know its at the freezing point?

Thermometer...

I've never set out to do it intentionally. It happens quite a bit to beer and water that's out in my garage fridge though.

I remember looking it up once on "How Stuff Works" or something similar. All I really remember was that it had to do with salinization of the liquid (salt content). When the liquid is at rest and not separated, it will remain liquid. As soon as you agitate the solution a break in the salt chain occurs and a chain reaction takes place.

I also remember something else about the agitation allowing the water molecules to move and realign so that it can turn into a solid. They made a comparison as to why hot water freezes faster than cold water. As soon as you allow the particles to move, the realign and can become solid.

Pretty freaky to watch... kinda kewl. The part I don't understand is why you often don't get condensation on the outside of the bottle until AFTER that chain reaction takes place (it's at least a lot quicker after the change)... I mean... it's STILL the same tempurature.

I tend to agree with this. It looks to be the same deal as when you do it with an open bottle. Hit the top of an open bottle with the bottom of yours and it make the hit bottle overflow. I figure it would be the same theory only there is no where for the gas to escape to since its capped. But Im no scientist....so who knows.
