After thinking about it, I've decided to go for 10 gallon rubbermaids for the mash tun and hot water tank, assuming they can be had for not too much money. But I've been to two Home Depots and one Target, with no luck. Home Depot had the 5 gallon ones for $18, and someone else has posted that Walmart has them for $15. I gather that sometimes Home Depot has the 10 gallons for $36, but the best I can find is Ace for $50. Any ideas for where to get them cheaper? I live in the SF Bay area if anyone knows local options (the local More Beer is out, and charges like $85 anyways).
I'd rather not spend $70 extra on space I don't need now, plus extra for the larger false bottom. I'll be brewing 1040-1060 OG British-style ales, continuous sparging, so I definitely want the false bottom.
Currently, I have a 7.5 gallon brew kettle, and really wish I had bought a 15 gallon one. Trying to avoid more buyer's remorse...
