I'm making the jump to AG, most, if not all my brews will have a 10-12lb grain bill, is a 5 gal cooler tun large enough, or should i just go with the 10 gal to allow for some head space/flexibility with the amount of strike water? I have done a few searches and didn't really find anything
You'll need a 10 gallon for sure. When I first started, I used to recirculate on a piece of aluminum foil with holes, placed on top of the grain bed. That didn't work well and was always messy. I highly recommend those plastic snake-like tubes with the nozzles for recirculating. I've since moved from the cooler and am still using it on my SS mash tun.
