using my esky can i use a big enough bag to fit the esky to mash in instead of fitting a manifold, like the BIAB but wanting to sparge.

You can dunk sparge with BIAB the same way you would essentially be doing with this method.
For what it is worth, I've used the method you describe but for partials and suspect I was having oxidation issues from pouring from the esky to my pot/kettle. I suppose I could have waited for it to cool first but in an esky? Felt it would take too long and increase my chances of yuckiness and wanted to get it boiling as fast as I could.
If you really want to avoid tampering with your esky then maybe you should consider going with a more common BIAB set-up.
I forgot to add i have a drain plug on my esky and was planing to drain via a hose to my 50L kettle
could that be a plan.
thanks for the info.

might ditch the bag idea sounds like a manifold is the only way to go i dont want to make it harder for myself.
thanks.
Cant get any easier than this:

Got to the bottom of the page and click through the pics. I personally use a copper manifold, but use the same method as this guy.

I'm all for the easy life and I'm sure either way = beer, which is of course the objective here.Here is another opinion WHY NOT use a bag in the esky ? All you do is the same as using a manifold , the bag is straining the wort . Put the bag in place add the water and grains in ,stir , recirculate , wait and then sparge .Drain and repeat the last step , how easy .
