    Adding Frost to Secondary?

    OK, i am in the midst of making a Coors Light clone. And I really want to get that frost-brewed TASTE. I wanna get this puppy right - I need a beer that is both light AND refreshing. So, I thought about adding the frost to the boil - maybe at flameout so it could help chill the wort...
