Hi Folks,
Just a quick question. I currently use a 26L esky as my mash tun for 20L batches and this works out well when doing batch sparges. I'd like to try "no sparge" which means having everything in the mash tun at the same time - for most batches I do that would be about 5kg of grain plus 26L of water. Just wondering what size esky would be appropriate for batches of this size?
ATM, I'm thinking of getting one of the Coleman Xtremes. Out of interest, the Coleman Xtreme 95L jobs are currently $120 at Masters which is actually cheaper than any of the suitable smaller ones! I'm thinking that these would be too big for what I'm doing right? Especially as I'm also interested in getting an immersion heater. I've found a 58L for $129 - would that be a suitable size? Or would something a bit smaller be better - say the 38L (too small?) or the 47L?
