Selection guide

Here are some hints on how to select the right ice product in the correct amount: 

• For a party with a full bar plus bottles and/or cans that need chilling, we suggest approximately 2 to 3 lbs. of ice per person.

• For a full bar only, 2 lbs. per person is more likely.

• Please keep in mind that the amount of ice required will vary based upon the season (summer vs. winter) as well.

• To cool a keg in a barrel, you will need approximately 50 to 100 lbs. of ice (either block or cubes)

• The choice of block vs. cubes to cool a keg is a personal preference decision: the block will last longer, but the cubes should keep the keg colder since more surface area is in contact with the ice.
