For the life of me I can not understand why so many people adamantly oppose using ice to cool wort. Coopers sells millions of extract kits and their instructions say heat the can.....yah de yah da pour water into primary to 23L I would think if there was a real risk of infection they would change their instructions. Some MidWest kits still have this in their instructions too. (The same water I make ice with)
We eat the ice every single day and I have never heard anyone say
"Did you boil that water before you made ice with it? Otherwise I am NOT taking the chance of getting sick"
Before all the hating starts let me say. I understand microbiology and know there are bugs everywhere but what is the real probability of infection?
There rant over
