I can't decide which one would be better for me. I brew 5 gallon batches, so that is my main consideration.
The red one is an Igloo Island breeze. It has far more features and I really like the location of the drain. Even though it is a more advance model than the blue one, it was cheaper (walmart vs. lowes). My main concern is the width. I am not sure if this will negatively affect the grainbed so this is where I am looking for the most input
The blue one is an Igloo cube. I don't like it as much because it is lighter, the lid has cupholders which means poor insulation in those four spots, it is more expensive despite being a lesser model than the red and the drain is in a poor location. It is less wide and a little taller which I thing makes it a better candidate for 5 gallon batches.
They are both 60 qt since the 48 qt igloo doesn't come with a drain.
I am hoping my manifold design can make up for the wider space of the red cooler but any guidance is greatly appreciated!
