Which sort of ice do I need - crushed ice, icecubes or blockice ?

In principle cooling of beverages is possible with all sorts of ice.
Thereby the cooling happens much quicker than with a normal refrigerator, which extracts the heat by thin air, not by direct contact with massive ice.
Nevertheless there are big differences between the sorts of ice, which should be respected:

Crushed Ice & Icecubes:

• Serves as supplement for beverages (satisfies the strict food-hygienic instructions)
• Crushed ice for cocktails and sparkling wine coolers
• Icecubes for longdrinks and alcohol free beverages
• Not recommended for cooling purposes of bigger quantities of beverages (too fast smelting)
  Nevertheless if planned, use isolated boxes

Blockice:

• For exterior cooling purposes of bigger quantities of beverages (draught beer and beverage bottles)
• No supplement for beverages
• Long lasting high cooling capacity and very slow smelting
• Application notes
