After I make ice cream in my ice cream maker, I have a few gallons of brine and ice. What should I do with it? I don't want to kill my plants or dump salt in my yard. I've been dumping it down my bathtub, but I'm afraid of corroding the pipe fittings.

It will not corrode the pipe fittings whether plastic or metal.
I just dump it in the sink, fill the sink full of water, let the remaining salt dissolve and drain it. At that concentration and amount of water always going down the drain the corrosion risk is next to zero.
