I have a 5 gal Igloo cooler for making pilot brews. Anyone see a problem with also using this as a bottling bucket?

I'm not sure I understand the problem getting it sanitized. It's plastic on the inside like a bottling bucket, it has a spigot like a bottling bucket. I think it would work in a pinch.

I dont think I see a problem with it. Just wash it out nice & good and sanitize obviously.
Yeah, but grains are covered in lactobacillus and you usually scratch the hell out of the walls during stirring. I'd never let finished beer touch my mash tun.

I'd be worried about the scratching and lacto as well.
My MLT is scratched to hell and back.

At least you think it's scratch-free. Honestly, to me it's not worth it. Buy a $5 bucket and use it.
That's what's wrong with you kids these days, throwing your money around like you're Rockefeller . . . .
That's exactly what I thought when I read this. Even if there aren't any visible scratches, it's probably a risk of lactobacillus infection.
Russian River puts their chilled wort back into their mash tun to get a quasi-spontaneous ferment started. Just sayin.
