"IMPORTANT: We cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas!"


You mean I might have to wait more than 10 months?!?!

THAT kills this deal!

Sure, this is a handy device if you need cold beer in a hurry.

But hamburgers go great with cold beer. And if you're like me, you hate waiting while the charcoal in the grill heats up.

Fortunately, George Goble has turned his attention to this problem. For details, click here.

beercicles yummmm...warning may have a vanilla twist from the icecream

What kind of heathen drinks beer from a can? Besides, spinning a bottle of homebrew will only stir up the crud in the bottom of the bottle. I'll stick with putting bottles in the fridge a day in advance.

Ya, this is the way to go. Much faster than puttin the can in the freezer. Reason behind it, I think is that water is a much better thermal conductor than air.

For the same reason, that's why you should always have a full stock of beer in your fridge. It's easier to keep liquid cold than air, so u'll save $$ on your electricity bill. (and always have cold beer ready at all time)

anyhow, i'm not a physic major so dunt yell at me if anything i say is incorrect.

Also to get the "wind chill" effect in a freezer, you'd have to be in there with it. I think a really ingenius way to chill alot of beers would be to make the ice water move since it'd be tough to get 12 cans spinning in a cooler, put a submersible pump in your cooler and fill it with icewater. Then it'd work like those wine chilling "buckets" (for lack of a better term) you see in the grocery store.

The idea works but paying $30 for the thing is ludicrous. I got a device that does the same thing (probably still have it around somewhere) on closeout at some store for like $5. Then it was worth it as that's about the cost it would be to make something like this. Really it would be a simple matter of getting the following parts:

Suction cup (to attach to top of can)
12V Motor (or lower voltage if need be) to turn the can (duh)
Some kind of container to hold the can & ice

Simply attach the motor to a swingarm on the container and attach the suction cup to the end of the motor. Then you simply put the can in the container, surround it with ice, drop the motor & turn it on.

That's if you're lazy and you need to have something mechanical do it, same principle works if you insert it into a bucket of ice or some other container, twirl it with your hand for about 30 seconds and you're good to go.

yup... my idea exactly.
OR, you could just make a little C-clamp that held the top... screw suction cups, they never work.

Bah!
Freezer temperature is colder than ice water...
To get your beer *really* cold, crush the ice straight from the freezer. Get a bag of rocksalt and add some salt to it to get it a little slushy. THEN spin your beer in it. Keep the slushy mix in the freezer between beers so it doesn't warm back up. Your beer will get colder than in icewater, and it'll get colder faster.

The rate of cooling is related to the difference in temperatures between the two areas in contact. (A fun application for differential equations/calculus. Spinning the liquids keeps thermal layers from forming. To understand what I mean, get a long straw and a pitcher of warm water. Fill the pitcher 3/4 full with warm water. Carefully put an icecube tray's worth of ice into it. Take a sip from the top with the straw after a few seconds... cold. Take a sip from the bottom with the straw... warm for a while. Convection currents will eventually mix the liquid to a more uniform temperature, but this takes time. Spinning the can provides a mechanical current to mix it quicker.

I haven't tried it before, but if you've got an extra storage freezer, I'll bet you can find the right mix of ice and salt that will remain slightly slushy in your freezer, even when not used. (provided your freezer isn't set below 0 degrees Farenheit). I'm not sure, but if it is, a mixture of salt and sugar may lower the temperature even further than 0... interesting experiment perhaps for kids.

And... I love pepsi when it's just barely turning into slush on the top... Something easy enough to achieve just by leaving it in my car lately. (
