I figured this would come in handy (especially for summer).
http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/07/how-to-chill-hot-beer-or-soda-in-3.htmlSo my father and brother-in-law were over this weekend for a barbecue. My fridge was stuffed with appetizers and salads so I was only able to fit a 12-pack of beer.....
Here is how he took beer from 80+ degrees to (seemingly) 40 degrees in about 3 minutes.
1. He took 6 hot beers from my garage and he placed them into a steel pot from the kitchen
2.He tossed in enough ice cubes to completely cover the beer
3. He then filled the pot with water
4. Next, and this is the trick, he tossed in (what must have been) 2 cups of table salt.
5. He took a large wooden spoon and stirred this thing up to be sure the salt dissolved.
6. He placed the concoction into the freezer and in 3 minutes we had ice cold beer.
