Ok, I'm still very new at making beer. But I put 15 pounds of ice in my primary then pour the batch in and then pitch the yeast. Any then wrong with the ice method?

You risk sanitation by pouring hot wort onto bagged ice. Now if you filtered and sterilized your water.... put it into sealed, sanitized containers.... and froze.... that would be ok.

I recommend an immersion chiller.
