Thread: Salt ice

Funny you should say that

if you go to local fish n chip shop...or the market,grab a couple of the polybins...they get used once then chucked.....1/4 fill it with water and put in freezer....if you leave it shut it will last 4-5 days as will be a big solid block...I put my beerzies in one like this...and had to wait 3 days for them to thaw out LOL...ICY bits in beerzies isnt a lot of fun.

Yup.

Thread resurrection. Just back from a 48 hour trip in warm conditions and less than a cupful of salt ice melted. Pre-cooling certainly seems to make a difference. I loaded the chilly bin the night before the trip with ice blocks, then removed them and loaded up with salt ice and food just before the trip.

dry ice works a treat, it can refreeze the entire bin solid again as the salt ice drips over it so that may be of assistance to you. I had mine sitting in the sun for 4 days and and the beers were still frozen solid, they were room temp when I put them in there.

Are you going fishing outside the harbour?

Chucking frozen bottles into the bin the night before to pre cool the bin makes a big difference.

Nice spot that. Even fishing off the rocks nearby can be productive.
