The easiest way to proceed is to force the liquid out of the ice with gentle C02 pressure.
The only problem is if the fittings freeze, they take a few minutes to open up. In the
beginning, the liquid will flow and the ice will float on the top and remain in the first
cornie. If all the liquid and ice moves between cornies, the slush needs to be colder.

Steve,
I think a number of people have made the ice beer (deliberately or
accidently) in a corn keg. After slushy, strain out the liquid by
pouring off or whatever works best for you.

So how does this work for an ice beer...?
I froze 2 gallons in a carboy last night, thinking that the ice would float
to the top and I could rack off the beer beneath the floating slush, but I
had a big beer slushy instead.
So, it looks like I should use a bucket rather than a carboy.
Do I then just use a slotted spoon to scoop out the ice or some of the ice?
