About 12 pounds is usually the max for a 5 gallon cooler, from what I've read.

Most I ever did in a 5g was almost 14#. That's what convinced me to buy a larger cooler. OTOH, 85% of my batches have less than 14# of grain (5g batches).

Wow... not bad. You can do a hell of a lot with 14 pounds of grain.

Yeah, but it was a super thick mash and required multiple batch sparges. I don't think my efficiency was great, but can't really remember. It's much easier and less stressful using a 36qt cooler.Beer Snob said:
