Lots of ice

Dr Nic · 2010-08-01 20:15:26

Hi Guys, Im looking to make lots of ice. Like Pub loads. Its for ice baths after team training. Has anyone any idea's how best to do this? I've tried the tesco ice cube bags and they're flimsy and fiddly. Is there anything better? Thanks John

When brewing alcohol in large vats I have heard of people throwing in frozen 2L bottles of water to cool it down. It also stopped it diluting the water/brew, which is not a problem for you. If you had tapered tubs like micowaveable soup containers then you could pop them out like giant icecubes, and they would have secure lids for transport. Just do not fill to much as they will expand.

If you had a big baking tray you could freeze big 1" layers of ice and take them out and refill over and over, so you end up with loads of ice "tiles", that should easily be broken up.
