How am I gonna brew NOW?

Try the no-chill. Putting a fan on it will greatly decrease the time it takes.
I'm brewing one now and will be able to pitch yeast when I wake up in the morning. But I've let them sit for over 24 hrs before pitching and haven't had bad luck.

You could use an aquarium pump in an ice bath to pump ice water through.

Just keep the container with the pump topped off.

That 32 deg water aught to work quick.

Make sure the pump's not too small, though. I got an aquarium pump that I thought would suit my chiller but it turns out to only push about half the flow rate I want. I can still chill my beer, but it takes longer than I'd like, so do yourself a favor and get the right pump from day one.

You probably had the same book as me, I think I ordered it from B&H photographic, it was something like, Building your own photo equipment cheap with hardware store materials. Or something like that. I built a lot of my own gear.

I think that was it! I use a lot of ghetto darkroom tricks, even now.

Do you have a washer in the apartment?

If so, every one I've seen has a standard hose thread on the water lines, and the matching connection on the wall. What I did to be able to use a hose on my patio (since I only discovered after moving in that the upstairs units in this configuration don't copulating have one) is to attach a short length of hose (VERY tightly screwed on, with some thread sealant) to the hose bib for the Cold line to the washer, and then attach an (also tightly screwed on and thread-sealanted) Y-shutoff to the end of that, with the washer cold feed hose on one end and a quick-disconnect hose fitting on the other.

[EDIT]Well, damn.
