I grabbed a 50 quart rubbermaid cooler on Craigslist for $10. The cooler in question:
It's got a drain and plenty of capacity, however there's a lip on the inside, about halfway up (hopefully you can tell from the picture). I'd estimate that the bottom part can hold about 4-5 gallons.
Let's say I put a manifold in the bottom, and the grain comes up over the lip. Am I going to have problems since it's not a straight shot down the sides? I fear that some grain might rest on the lip and not sparge properly.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Luckily the cooler was only $10, so if it won't work, no big deal!
