Ok, 10g cooler mash tun built, 15g keggle built. Need a HLT. I am sticking with 5g batches for the foreseeable future. Can I just use a 5g cooler for my HLT, or is a 10g mandatory? I typically brew beers around the 1.050-1.065 range.
Or can I forego the HLT completely and just use my old 5g kettle and heat the sparge water? I plan on batch sparging.
I'm sure I'm over complicating things, but I just don't want to screw my first AG brewday. Thanks!
