New Mash Tun!!

I just picked up a used 10 gallon Home Depot already converted mash tun. It has a stainless steel ball valve and a domed false bottom. Looks great!! I was using a 5 gallon Lowes cooler converted with a brass ball valve and stainless braid, and doing batch sparing.

I am limited on my storage space so I am debating what to do with my 5 gallon. I have a friend that is getting into home brew but low on finds so I could donate it to him.

Do I really have any reason to keep my 5 gallon if I plan on batch sparging with my new 10 gallon?

If you keg you could turn it into a jockey box for portable keg serving.

I vote give it to your friend, tell him to give you beer later for payment Its always nice to have other friends who brew so you can taste their beers instead of everyone trying yours

Is this a round 5 gal cooler? I have a blue Lowes round 5-gal and it nests perfectly inside my orange Home Depot cooler. Saves a ton of space.

EDIT: Of course, you have to remove the ball valve from the bulkhead on the Lowe's cooler. Then it fits.
