In an effort to cool my beer to pitching temperature in the middle of a Texas summer, I've been thinking about filling some PET bottles with water, freezing them, then dropping them in the wort to help cool it (after sanitizing them of course).
I'd have to think that I probably shouldn't drop them in while the wort is at or close to boiling temperature, but once it cools down a bit to help speed things up.
Does anyone do this, or have any reasons I shouldn't do this?
