If there’s one thing everybody on Planet Earth can agree on, it’s that lukewarm beer is the absolute worst. Sure, some beer is better when standing for a few minutes. But who wants a brew (or any carbonated drink for that matter) at room temperature?
Ice? Forget it. All ice leaves you with is a cool-but-severely-diluted beverage.
We need an alternative.
We need a hero to step forward.
Paging Kent Hodgson to the rescue.
Hodgson is a 22-year-old New Zealand student/inventor who figured out how to ice-out a warm beer. Dubbed the Huski, his invention is a portable device (no larger than a pen) that you drop directly into a bottle of beer. Once Huski hits the liquid it works in an instant, bringing your barely-drinkable beer to a cool brew that maintains its “coolness” four-times longer than ice.
(For a detailed explanation on the cooling process click here.)
Hodgson is God.
Huski is currently being patented by Hodgson, who hopes to sell one canister (yielding enough product to cool down thirty 330ml bottles of beer) for around $50.
Somebody’s going to win the Nobel Prize for Physics next year.

“four-times colder than ice”
What does this mean?

“four-times colder than ice”?
The linked article actually states that the device has a “cooling capacity almost four times that of regular ice”, which is impressive, but very different than what you said.

This seems stupid, you can get the same effect with a bucket of salty water.
How the hell do you get the thing in, and out of your beer without making a mess?

**bringing your barely-drinkable beer to a crisp, cool temperature four-times colder than ice.
So what temperature is four-times colder than ice?

$50 is too much. My case of beer would inturn cost me $65.00.
Keep your invention.

How can something be ‘four-times colder than ice’?
Baz says:

So How does Huski actually work? Whats the Science behind it?

Could someone explain to me how something can be four times colder than ice?

maintains its âcoolnessâ? four-times longer than ice
… all you people talking about “four times colder than ice”… are illiterate morons that need to learn how to read a sentence
YHBT. YHF. HAND.

read the article. the Big White thing is a liquid CO2 holder. Push the silver pen thing down and the liquid expands into basically dry ice.
So $50 is a one time price for the whole setup, then you just have to pay for liquid co2 refills.

To all those complaining about spending $50 to cool down one beer.
Perhaps if you actually read the article…
“yielding enough product to cool down thirty 330ml bottles of beer) for around $50.”
30 != 1

What about displacement. in goes cooler, out comes half your beer. Duh I’d rather wait for a full beer to cool that drink half a cold beer now

If your beer is too warm it’s because you didn’t drink it fast enough. Unless this is being marketed to trendy broads who drink wine spritzers then this will fail. Besides, real beer is good at cellar temperature.

I am very interested in this product and would like to sell this one in China the most huge market in the world. Please let me have more details or send me the samples and offer me the prices.
Please write me to my email ads: sales@brighter.com.hk or victor@brighter.com.hk and let us go ahead.
Maybe let us disucss of how to lower the cost to make it suitable for public uses.
We are a Hongkong electrical appliances manufacturer with factory inside China and I see a very goo chances to work together.
Best Regards,

Boasting a mind-boggling 32DDD all-natural bust, it’s not hard to see why Czech-born Denise Milani has become one of the world’s most sought after glamour models. The only thing is, she does a lot of teasing but with absolutely no nudity or exposed nipples. Not that we’d be allowed to show them on COED, anyway – but you can bet if we found the pics, we’d point you in the right direction.
