I've been holding out for a 10 gal, but while at Walmart today I found a 5 gallon igloo on sale for $12.50. According to the chart, the max is 12 lbs of grain. For most of my beers this is fine, but I have one recipe with a 14 lb grain bill. I've read stories on here of people doing 14 lbs in a 5 gal with a real thick mash. I'm not above trying it, but my question is, how will this affect my efficiency?
