Ok, I have an 10 gallon Igloo cooler that I picked up for the purpose of converting into an electric HLT. I typically brew 5-6 gallon batches at time with no intention in the near future of doing 10 gal. most of the designs I have seen up till now have the hot water element mounted vertical in the round coolers which is fine for anything above say 5-6 gallons of water. My initially infusions are usually in the 3ish gallon range, so what that would mean is is that I would have less water in the HLT than that would reach the top of the element. My initially thought is to mount is horizontal and that would Ideally take car of the issue. Has anyone done this this or experienced this same dilemma?
