Hey guys,
I tried searching for these questions, couldn't find them...
So, I've been doing some research on equipment to buy and what not (I already have a turkey burner, and a 7.5 gallon pot) and I'm thinking of using two coolers. I'm thinking of buying a Coleman xtreme 70 qt cooler to mash in. Here is my first question, I plan on doing 5 gallon batches, is this cooler to big for a 5 gallon batch? can you in fact "go to big" on a cooler?
For my other cooler (to hold my sparge water) I was going to use an Igloo Max Cold 70qt cooler I already own. does anyone have any experience using this cooler? I know with the wheels it wouldn't be the best option (at least I don't think, maybe I'm wrong) for a mash tun, but what about for holding sparge water? How easy would it be to convert this cooler?
thanks guys for all your help on this!
