Hey, folks! I need a little help from the experienced all grain brewers here. I've been brewing small batch extract kits for a couple months now and I'm loving it! Now I want to move to all grain because I want to experiment and also pay less! I'm planning on building my own Mash Tun and Sparge Tank and that's where I need your help! I'm doing all 1 gallon batches. Should I build using Rubbermaid 2 gallon coolers or 3 gallon ones? I want to have a deep enough grain bed for the light ales and pilsners but I also want to have enough room for the strong stouts and barley wines. I've been leaning toward the 2 gallon cooler as my base because of the fact that a 10 gallon cooler works fine for any 5 gallon batch. Am I right here? What are your suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
