The right temperature of water

Hi guys,

I am taught that the water temp. can be calculated by the formula:

T Base - ( T room + T flour) = T water

But I wonder what if I get a minus number ( which is possible), then it is "ice". How can get the right water temp then? 

Thank you!

the four into the fridge so the water temperature does not have to be near freezing.
