I am trying to set up an AG setup but haven't got a mash tun yet. My question is whether or not esky/cooler type setups have any problems with plastic and heat combined. I guessing there is no problems due to the large amount of people using coolers, but I thought that the plastic would leach chemicals into the brew with hot temperatures. Also is there a difference between the round drink coolers and the rectangular eskies in efficiency, because the price difference is huge ($50 for a 15l round one versus $30 for a 25l rectangular one.)
Other questions - is there a better brand i.e. better type of plastic used.
- is a 15l cooler going to be big enough for standard brews
I would really appreciate some advice because I don't wan't to waste money or worse, spoil a brew.
Thanks,
Scott.
