So the "Fermentation Sciences Club" here at the college I attend is having our inaugural brew day on saturday. so that several people can take home a carboy/bucket full of wort (to which they must add their own yeast, assuming they are of legal age (so we dont get in trouble with the university)) we are brewing about 30-35 gal. apparently we have a 30 gal kettle to use as well as some keggle's and a couple MLT's. along with the other miscellaneous things needed.
here's the problem. I just found out today that we have no wort chiller of any kind. as of now the best plan we have is to fill a trash can full of ice/water and let the kettle sit in that. but i doubt a 30 gal kettle could fit, and cooling enough would take quite a large amount of time.
so, does anyone have any ideas on a quick fix for this? i wish i would have known sooner we dont have one, as i was planning on making one for myself anyway.
also does anyone happen to live in columbia, MO who has any type of chiller and would like to lend it to us or even join us on saturday?
