Next day, drain the bloody water and add more ice. I do this for 2 or 3 days. Surprising how much blood this draws out of the meat, makes it easier to trim, and makes it taste a bunch better.
I do this also but I prop the cooler up so the drain hole is angled down and leave it unplugged. This lets the water run off and not accumulate on the meat.
