How often do you have to change the ice blocks? I was thinking of doing the same, but maybe buying one of the electric coolers and setting a timer to switch it on periodically.
Yep, that was the set up. It worked well, although you need to drink it all fairly quick otherwise (I found) it goes too flat for my taste.

I don't use it these days as I have a cool cabinet and cornies now. :=P

Thanks for the swift reply Jim. I may take a look at Dennis' polypin management thread to see if I can glean anything about priming in polypins.
