I want to do this too and keep using the same water re-frozen. My CFC is a water waster. Even if it does water the lawn.

Zixxer10R said:You could just run your CFC output into a bucket and recirc from there with a sump pump. Same concept, except you still get to use the CFC, which chills much better than an immersion chiller.
But like I said- You're going to need to experiment with wasting a little water first anyways. If not you will be dumping 210 degree water on ice and that will heat your ice bath up quick. Then you are scrambling to put a lot more ice hot water. Your efforts are then spent keeping that ice bath cooled instead of cooling your wort.
