Hello Everybody!
I just got home from a restaurant supply store, and they had an item called Rapi-Kool (http://www.zesco.com/products.cfm?subCatID=617&PGroupID=ZP99158002) that I had never heard of before. It is a heat safe plastic paddle, that gets filled with water and frozen. It was only $35! I explained to the man behind the counter that I needed it to cool down the beer to about 68F in 45 mins or so, and he couldn't guarantee that it would work. I am broke, so I decided I would mull it over some more.
Has anybody on this site used one of these for wort chilling? Figuring that it is about 1/3 the price of a wort immersion chiller, I wonder if it works 1/3 as well too. lol
