Anyone do a DIY Beersicles project yet?

[cheeseheadnate]

I've been looking at the beer chillers aka the Beersicles ... and wonder if anyone has made their own and if so how (out of what and any instructions involved)?

I"ve looked at this one that looks nice in quality (but pricey)

and these cheaper versions ...

I was thinking an appropriate sized "plastic" testtube with cap would work ...... any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Hello]

Plastic food-safe tube...yes. I have these things that let me make ice pops or otter pops. They're those long thin popsicle things that is basically colored water and sugar. I was thinking that you could use something like that as well. I didn't think about making that myself, I just put bottles in ice baths if I don't want to wait. Plus, I don't have to sit there waiting for the beer to chill while it is open.

With the plastic tube, I think that can work. You can even take a bottle cap and glue it to the cap of the tube for both design and to sort of keep the beer covered. It's not going to prevent oxygen from getting in, but it at least keeps it covered.

another idea is using a small bung that hasn't been drilled and adhering that to the tube somehow. Then your bottle is "corked" again.

interesting thoughts .... I was thinking about tubes like these possibly or something similar.
