No, you are not badgering. I've been wanting to discuss this with someone. I have a homemade 25 ft copper immersion chiller. I chill in my kitchen with my kitchen sink, which my pot does not fit in. I do spray the outside with water to try to lose heat that way.
If I stir the whole time, it doesn't take that long to cool (maybe 15 - 20 minutes), but I feel like the pot holding heat slows it down.
Perhaps I am wrong in thinking that the aluminum is the culprit. I have never used stainless so I can't compare. Maybe it is more the thickness. If I used stainless, it would be much thinner, and I feel like it would cool faster. I could be totally wrong though, it's ok to tell me that I am!
