Well, everything was going well on my first brew.
I got the wort in a bucket with ice water and it dropped temp QUICK! But I still thought I'd need more to get to 80* so I used 2 8lb bags of ice (saw it recommended in instructions and a book). Now I have ice-wort....
What do I do? Wait it out to get to pitch temp? Pitch it anyway? Throw it over the fence and start all over?
