Hi
I've read somewhere that frozen bottles can also be used for cooling off the wort before pitching in the yeast. I don't have a wort chiller and cooling it off in the sink takes longer and it's inconvenient for me. So this time for the upcoming batch I want to use frozen bottles for cooling off my wort.
I have a few questions though.
1) Can we use PET plastic bottles with frozen ice inside? I.e Soda or soft drink bottles.
2)Is there a danger of a PET plastic bottle getting melted in a hot wort and hence I end up destroying the whole batch?
