So I'm going to try this today and wanted feedback on the idea.
I have a submersible pump that I am going to put in a five gallon bucket of ice, top off with water, and then pump it through my immersion chiller. Instead of running a hose and having to put all that water somewhere during a snowstorm (Wisconsin).
Think this will work ok or think the ice will melt too fast? I think it will melt fast but I'm hoping it will still be effective. I can always add snow, but then I'll have overflow and will have to put that water somewhere.
This is for a five gallon batch.
I have a friend who was thinking of doing the same thing so I'm sure I'm not going to be the first person who's tried something like this.
