what Numbskull said

put it in salt water , squeeze the bejeezus out of it.
leave space between the bedding and the bottom and the top of the container, I actually use a worming container so it can breathe,
leave it in the fridge. I used to use a small fridge, should be like 38 F.
I used to turn it over every day.

If the beer is chilled you are good.

Condensation is your enemy, it will kill the worms as will melted ice water.

I always kept mine on a piece of burlap wetted with sea water... the burlap was place on a plastic bag over the ice... After each mornings dig, I "dried' my worms on paper and then transferd them to the burlap..

Trade name is Buss Bedding. It works. It will keep a flat alive and fresh for a weekend without refrigeration. All of the old bread truck gang would use it for a weekend at Nauset, when worms were the big deal.
