Coleman 70-Quart Xtreme vs rubber made 10gal drink cooler.
I am trying to to decide which cooler to upgrade to, I have a 48 quart rectangle igloo cooler which I have made a cpvc manifold and this gave me 65~75% efficiency.. then I moved to a Bazooka screen for my manifold and it drop my efficiency down to 60% (I think its because of all the dead space at the bottom of the cooler) Anyhow I have been making 5gal batches of beer and I just made 2 keggles (BK & HLT) and I can do 10gal batches now. So I am leaning toward getting the larger cooler BUT I am afraid I am still going to have the low efficiency issues with the rectangle cooler vs a round tall drink cooler.
