Newbie to brewing. I have a rectangle 28 qt. coleman cooler that I was thinking of using as a fermenter. I've read that a lot of people are using their round 5 gal coolers as a mash tun, but no one really using a cooler for fermenting. Is this a good or bad idea? I currently don't have a carboy or fermenting bucket of any type and wanted to use what I already have in the garage to go to the next step in the brewing world. Currently have done 2 extract batches with Mr. Beer and I want to begin doing 5 gal. partial mashes. But I want to do this without hacking off the wife and having to purchase a ton of items. Thinking that if this will work then I'll drill a small hole in the top for the airlock and I'll be ready to brew. Thoughts, comments, concerns? Thanks in advance for your comments. Have a great one....
