Has anyone tried a no chill in a standard plastic fv?
I have one of these Mangrove Jacks ones and wonder if i make a stopper (for the bubbler hole) and swirl the red hot wort all over, if it will be okay?

I was looking at buying the components for a rib-cage copper chiller today but cant find a bending spring... and I don't want to risk doing it without one.
I have done my last 3 brews by just dumping it(my fv) in a tote filled with water and LOTS of ice packs and bottles of frozen water. It takes about an hour to cool 18L down to 25deg and havent had any issues yet.
Reading your posts now had me thinking if the extra time and water is really needed, since I could just try and no chill it and pitch the next day.
For that matter I can put it in my fermentation fridge with my STC set to pitching temp, or is this a bad idea?
