Ok. Last batch I did BIAB. Now, I have a rectangular cooler I'm thinking of turning into a mash tun. what's the pros vs cons of mash tun vs biab?
 
I usually get more than 80% efficiency with BIAB while the majority of the conventional tun brewers are reporting 65 to 75%. I can have my beer in the fermenter about 2 hours earlier than most of the conventional tun users. I don't have to buy, modify, store, and clean a cooler. Other than those minor points they should be about the same. :D
 
I have to agree. My efficiency has been pretty darn high withpb/pm biab I've been doing. This robust porter should be darn good with that kind of efficiency. Not to mention holding my mash temp better.
