It will be a Smuttynose Baltic Porter and no clue what yeast yet. I know it has to be under 70. Should I set the freezer at say 60-65 or less?

I would like to try a no chill method on my next brew. What I am going to do is after boil I will move to a pail and the put a lid on it and put it in my temperature controlled chest freezer. Can anyone tell me what temperature the freezer should be set at and how long it might take to bring...
