^^hahaha I was running from the stove to the door and then throwing it off my porch. My neighbors probably think I'm retarded.

How does it stay boiling!

lol are you home? Get that stove on

Try using a larger volume of water or a container with thicker walls GreenSnake. You need more thermal mass to maintain the temp long enough to get out the door.

I only got partial freezing due to the same problems you are having myself... Some water hit the ground but I did get a lot of ice crystals also.

Here is an even better video I found doing it with -45 degree temp:

Undisturbed water will not freeze unti it gets to -6F. It was fun to get a tub of water down to -4 and then give it a kick and see it instantly crystalize.

Does the water have to be super pure for that to work or will tap water do? I ask because it is pretty much -6 out right now...

 

[James Snover]

The purer, the better. But taking water outside constitues disturbing it enough to crystallize. We used to do it by filling a bowl, letting it sit for three days, then chill it.
