Description
No more warm cans or exploded bottles, just tell your Frosty Beverage Timer how cold you like your brew and put it in the freezer. Like an angel's song, it tells you when your beverage is ready for maximum enjoyment.
How does it turn your warm beer into chilled perfection? A quick calibration by putting the Frosty Beverage Timer in your freezer lets the onboard digital thermometer measure your freezer's temperature with 12 bits of precision. When you're ready to chill your beer, it makes a second measurement of the room temperature. By knowing the temperature difference & what type of bottle or can you're using, it knows exactly when your Frosty Beverage will be ready. Heavy drinker? With support of cans up to 440ml and bottles up to 750ml (1/5 Gallon), you're covered. Metric system make you mad? Don't worry, the Frosty Beverage Timer supports Celsius and Fahrenheit. Can't afford a freezer? Just let the Frosty Beverage Timer know and it will automatically compensate. Deaf or blind, everyone deserves a cool brew, so the Frosty Beverage Timer alerts you with it's rendition of '99 bottles of beer on the wall' as well as a message on the 8x2 LCD. Magic has a new name: The Frosty Beverage Timer. Make It!
