There was about 6 inches of snow on the ground (Cincinnati, Ohio) and we built an igloo of snow to cool the pot. <br /><br />Still took longer than I had hoped and we're looking to build a wort chiller for next time.Bretthttp://www.drinkhomebrew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020044885093728127.post-13439719737876778562010-02-07T02:13:22.505-08:002010-02-07T02:13:22.505-08:00We used snow to cool a brew once.
