Bagged ice is not sanitary? If I have 2 gallons of wort boil and then add 3 gallons of fridge chilled water, will my temp fall easily enough in order to pitch?
Is there a drawback to pouring the wort boil directly into my primary fermenter which is full of ice to help chill the wort??? Then to top off, pour necessary amount of water to fill to 5 gallons.
