So my last brew day, I did the ice bath thing to get my wort down to pitching temps, but I was thinking, since I'm topping off with water (5 gallon batch, 2.5 gallon boil), why couldn't I freeze 3 jugs of the spring water I use, and cut the jug away and add the blocks of ice, instead of just pouring cold water in?
It's not something I'm gonna be trying anytime soon, as I scored a nice immersion chiller yesterday from a fellow home brewer, but I can't really see the downside in adding blocks of ice.
Anybody do this?
