I'm pretty new to this hobby and i have a few extract batches under my belt so i'm looking to try some Partial Mash recipes. I would like to make a Mini MLT out of a cooler but don't know what size to buy. Looks like the recipes i'm looking at use 3 to 6 pounds of grain. I would think a 2 gallon cooler would be alittle tight and 5 gallon cooler might be two much. I have found some 3 gallon coolers butthey run around 30 bucks. I live in a condo right now so going to all-grain will be years down the road. Should I just get the 3 gallon to be safe? I know you can do this process without a cooler but i sure do like having gadgets to play with. Any suggestions would be great.
