Hi,
I do partial boils when I brew, boiling 3 gallons for a 5 gallon batch.
Is there any reason I never hear of people putting ice directly into the wort to cool it quicker?
I've used very cold water from the fridge, about 35F-40F, but haven't used ice. I was thinking if I boil the water, sterilize the container, then freeze it, I would know the volume of thawed water, and it would be so much colder that my chill time would be cut way down.
Assuming everything is clean and sterile, does anyone see any flaws in this?
