I find with using the IC it takes about 20-30 mins to get sit down to 70-80 degrees with a lot of water so I started filling a 5 gal cooler with ice writer and running that through the IC to save a bunch of water. Now I am wondering if I could run the wort through the IC, while it sits in ice water like a jockey box works or like a plate chiller. Does anyone do this? Is it bad to run hot wort through freezing water, and will it cool it down with just one pass?
