We investigate the QCD phase diagram as a function of isospin chemical potential at a fixed temperature by directly putting large numbers of \pi^+s into the system. Correlation functions of N \pi^+s systems involves N!N! contractions, and become extremely expensive when N is large. In order to alleviate this problem, a recursion relation of correlation functions has been derived in Ref. [1] that substantially reduces the number of independent contractions needed and makes the study of many pions systems be possible. In this proceeding this method is investigated numerically. We have also constructed a new method that is even more efficient, enabling us to study systems of up to 72 \pi^+s.
