This has been your weekend PSA

You're doing God's work, OP

Holy shit

I put one in an hour ago, thanks 😂

OMG. Thanks!

If you have an ice maker and a small cooler it’s way quicker to put them in the cooler and cover them with ice and water. You know, if you have a cold beer emergency and don’t want to wait for the freezer to cool it down. 5 minutes is plenty.

add salt and it should cool quicker
- Add lime and you still shouldn't drink that ice water.
- Salt + stir, I recall
  
  Not sure if covering beer in a wet paper towel before it goes into the freezer is a legit method or not
  
  Of course would limit both of these due to unnecessary waste
You can also just wrap them in a wet paper towel to get the same effect. Or even better wet paper towel with some ice on top.
- You beat me to the punch. It works great! 15-20 mins tops and your beer is ice cold

I've tried all the "quick chill" methods I've heard of, but none of them work as quickly or as well as the icecream maker method. Watered down ice with some table salt. Set your unopened beer into a slurry like that, and in about 20 - 30 minutes, it's surpremely cold. None of the "5 minutes and it's ice cold" methods work as well or as quickly to be honest. At least not in my climate and in my experience.

There's a cheap machine that dip the can in ice cold water and spin it really fast. It cool the can down to <5°C in less than 3 minutes. I think it'll work even better with your salt method.

Edit: changed the time and temp because it works even better than my memory.
- How does that work?

It was a cider, but thank you :)

No bullshit.

Crap. Now I have a can of beersickle.

Thank you, almost forgot.

Nah it's cool. I only have tequila in there. It won't freeze.

Just got mine out 5 minutes ago! And the one I left overnight.

Or put it in the fridge a few hours before you want to drink it, and not only five minutes or so.

But that requires a level of forethought and planning I'm simply not capable of.
That's assuming that you haven't already burnt through your supply of fridge beers.
