The last couple of times I made stock I let it cool for about 15 minutes then ice bathed it. I was able to drop the temp over 100F in 10 minutes, so when I stuck it in the fridge I didn't have a huge heat sink sitting there.
It really is amazing how fast you can cool a 8 or 10qt pot with ice water.
