Yesterday I brewed a batch of beer and put the fermenter in a big rubbermaid tub full of water. I read somewhere that you shouldn't put ice in the water before it starts fermenting.
This morning I woke up and the airlock was bubbling slightly. I put 9 frozen bottles of water in the ice to cool the wort down between 65 and 70 degrees.
When I got home this afternoon the airlock wasn't bubbling anymore and the temp of the water was down to about 45 degrees.
My questing is if I should keep adding ice bottles to the water or wait until a healthy fermentation starts?
