I've perused the forums pretty thoroughly and haven't quite found the answers I'm looking for, so if this has already been beaten to death, I aplogize in advance. I want to start going AG, and have been looking at going the way of the 10 gallon cooler mash tun. My question is purely economical being a recent poor graduate facing student loan payments of epic proportions. The cheapest 10 gallon rubbermaid/gott style cooler I've found comes in at just under $50. There are plenty of 10-12 gallon rectangular coolers running in the $20 range. Is it acceptable to use such cooler for your mash? Are there any particular disadvantages to using the box style coolers as opposed to the cylindrical versions?
Next question...an immersible wort chiller will run between $40 and $50, but I can purchase 60 ft of copper line for 20 bucks locally...what diameter should be used?
thanks for the info guys, and happy drinking.
