Alright, just testing a concept to make sure I'm not missing any issues down the line.
My idea is to use a cooler in my BIAB setup to keep the mash temp stable in the fall/winter. All I plan to do is hold the grain in a nylon bag while in the cooler. After the mash, remove the grain bag and drain the wort to the kettle. After that, place the bag of grain back into the cooler, batch sparge, and drain the remaining wort into the kettle.
This is just a concept to hold me over until I take a bit of extra time to convert the cooler properly. Does anyone see an issue with this? Also I'm looking at a 5 gallon Igloo cooler vs a much larger 48gt rectangle cooler. I figure the larger cooler will allow me to do larger batches down the line.
