Original Question: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/do-i-need-5gal-10gal-cooler-123555/
Three follow up questions:
1. I saw a couple of responces that pointed to a 12~13lb grain limit for a 5gal cooler. Can someone point me to a source for this information? Remember that I have never done an AG brew so this may be common sense to some of you.
2. The comment was maid "if you are batch sparging a 5gal cooler would be fine", but.... what if I wanted to fly sparge in the future
a) Would the grain bed depth of a 5gal batch (say 12lbs) in a 10gal cooler be to shallow to be effective?
b) Would there be enough room in a 5gal cooler to fit a sparge arm?
Thanks
