If it was fully frozen, it's probably DOA. Certainly if it bulged the case. I would never bring a battery in the house to charge. The only way a battery is going to freeze is if it was not fully charged. Now, it all depends on how completely it was frozen. Just the water above the plates, or worse, enough to break the plates, and bulge the case.

Try to charge it, and do a load test. It may still be OK, or it may have weakened the plates which will then break when you really need it. On the water.
