Make an Evaporative Terra Cotta Beer Chiller

Step 1 What will you need?

The supplies are pretty simple:

• a tin can big enough to fit your beverage container
• an unglazed terra cotta flower pot big enough to fit the tin can and some sand
• some fine-grained sand
• if your pot has a hole, some sealant and a piece of plastic to cover it

For the sealant, I have been very satisfied with Loctite's Handyman's All-Purpose Adhesive/Sealant (as available from Amazon). It's non-toxic, low-odor, strong, waterproof, bonds with almost anything, dries clear, and stays just a little flexible.

And if you want it to be as portable and spill-resistant as mine:

• cement
• a 2"-3" piece of flexible hose
• more sealant
