Bought a couple of 5 gallon water coolers off of Craigslist yesterday with the intention of making a mash tun and hot liquor tank. Is this big enough for 5 gallon batches?
Generally speaking, no. You can either do lower gravity 5 gallon batches or average gravity half batches. Or you can be like me and just partial mash with only 1 lb. of malt extract, which saves me just enough room that I don't need a 10 gallon mash tun.
