Getting a little ahead of myself here, but was wondering if it is at all possible to cold crash in a swamp cooler? How cold does it have to be, and for how long for a cold crash to be effective? Was thinking it would just take a good deal more ice for say 12-24 hours. Is this feasible? Thanks again!
 
I can't see why it wouldn't work. I have no idea how much ice it would take, what low temp you could maintain, etc. This makes you the pioneer - let us know how it works out!
 
For a cold crash, you want the temp around 34-38. An ice bath might be a better option than a swamp cooler.
