Been trying to assemble a mash tun out of a cooler, your standard SS braid set-up. One of the coolers I've seen is the Coleman XTreme 70 quart... now, I know this is a huge cooler. The dimensions are roughly 24" long x 10" wide, 12" high.
Would this be too big when you're looking at a 'standard' batch of 5 gallons, such as 1.050-1.060 beer? Or even if you wanted to do something lower, like a Mild.
Also, does anyone just use the cheaper, 48-quart regular Coleman coolers? I was just wondering if it's actually worth it buying a more expensive one, or if the 25$ ones hold the heat constant just as well.
