How long do the Cooling Cubes keep a 5 litre barrel cold?

The Cooling Cubes keep the drinks cold for a very long time. The duration depends on how cold the drinks are placed in the Cooling Cubes, how many cooling packs are inserted and also which outside temperature is produced. In a non-scientific everyday test, we achieved an average temperature increase of 0.29 degrees per hour with the Cooling Cubes. See the cooling statistic curve.

How many cooling batteries fit and the Cooling Cubes?

The Cooling Cubes can hold up to 3 cooling batteries: one in the upper cube and two in the lower cube for extra power.

That doesn't always have to be alcohol! You can also fill it with water, juice, fanta or cola.

What is the hole in the Cooling Cubes top for?

The hole at the top of the Cooling Cube is the main part of our protected cooling system. The warm air penetrates through the hole into the barrel and thus to the beer. And to prevent the beer from warming up during tapping, a cooling battery placed under the hole ensures that the air is cooled down before it comes into contact with the beer.

As long as you hold the Cooling Cubes straight, it is possible to walk around with an open beer barrel.
