Juice and the cold?

**northendninja** · 12-15-2003, 07:40 AM

Just curious, I get my goodies in the mail. They wont come directly to my house but I have a box at the corner of the street. Because I dont watch the box all day I am not certain when drops to the box are made. I live in Canada and nights temps. are as low as -30C and days rarely get warmer than -5C (in the winter). So I was wondering how well juice handles the cold? If it freezes will it still be good once it thaws?

I think if it freezes and thaws in a bottle it will be fine.Your problem may be if it freezes and breaks the bottle.

well, there might be a problem if whatever you're getting is water based.. because water expands when it freezes which would compress the air inside and maybe break the rubber on top, or the glass in the bottle if it's filled full enough. If it's oil based, you're fine.. oil doesn't expand when it freezes.. and you just need to heat it up in warm water and you'll be all set.

that's only because sometimes a little will fall out of solution.. this can be remedied by just heating it in warm water for a while.. like 145 farenhiet is a good temp.
