Hang beer with magnets

How to hang beer in the fridge

In March 2017, we attended a course with Rune from Ølhandleren.dk. He's a nice guy, but I'll get back to that.

During the break we sat and talked about making something fun with magnets...

... and you can!

We got a case of special beer home to the office - I told you he's a nice guy. And then we started hanging beer in the fridge.

This post and a video came out of it.

(may also be used for soft drinks!)

We chose to test with rubber magnets, as they can withstand damp conditions, as they are gentlest on bottles and fridge shelves, and as they can withstand the blows from the beer bottles when they are set up (broken magnets are not worth much after all).

The test showed the following

The rubber magnets of 17x9 mm. (strength 3.7 kg.) could just hold a 25 cl. beer, but they were a little too sensitive to fluctuations, so we ignored them.
The rubber magnets of 22x6 mm. (strength 3.9 kg.) held the small bottles of 25 cl. better than the 17x9 magnet, but they could not hold up to 33 cl. beer.
The rubber magnets of 22x11 mm (strength 7.1 kg.) could hold both hold 25 cl. and 33 cl. the bottles hanging - even if there were oscillations in the bottles (see the video above).

That's why 22x11 mm. the rubber magnets with the victory because they could keep all the bottles hanging without any problems.

Hang magnets in the fridge

You can hang magnets on the fridge shelves in 3 different ways:

Glue the magnets one at a time under the shelf, where the bottles (or cans) must hang;
Attach the magnets to a magnetic wire shelf; or
Put a power magnet 20x10 mm. on top of the shelf and a rubber magnet on the underside of same shelf.

Can also be used in kitchen cupboards to hang tins with.
