How long does it take to cool down a Ten-Pack?

Place them in a ice-water bath and spin them. That is the fastest way to cool them down.

Ah, you guys actually don't know about it, it's the Swiss National Day, so I'm leaving for my friends house in 1:30 hours and I just got a Ten Pack of yummi. It was already in the fridge at the shop but not too cold. Gonna have a blast tonight :D

btw, you can cool down beer super fast by putting it in a cooler filled with ice and dump rock salt on the ice.

I second the rock salt. It's just large chunks of unrefined salt usually used for making home made ice cream. Ice+rock salt = COLD ONE

What heat? Now you are discussing heat, when we want to make the beer cold. By adding salt to ice all you do is turn it into ice-water.

Read.
That discusses how salt lowers the freezing point, which is not the same as making the temperature drop.

It doesn't add or subtract heat, it just alters the mixture's chemical properties so that it freezes and melts at different temperatures.
