-> That was the point of my experiment. BTW, if you looked it over, there is 
-> not much difference in the liquid temps after 30 minutes in the freezer. 
-> Neither glass nor aluminum can made a difference in liquid temp. Also, 
-> since aluminum conducts more readily than glass, the can warmed up faster 
-> than the glass after removal from the freezer. 
  
I recall that the beer cans were larger than the glass containers that 
held the liquor. Generally, small things cool faster than large ones. 
So maybe there were two opposing tendencies, the greater heat 
conduction in the can, which would tend to make it cool faster, and the 
effect of size, working the opposite way. Maybe they roughly cancelled 
out. 
  
You are saying that the two containers cooled at roughly equal rates in 
the freezer, but warmed up at unequal rates when they were taken out. 
Are you sure about that?
