I saw you posting and immediately thought - what would MtnBrewer want to know - THE VOLUME (hence my above edit).Here is an image of the cooler as well: https://www.walmart....duct_id=4807332As you can see it has a pretty good sized foot print so the bed would get pretty thin. I do batch sparge as well.One thing I could try is lifting one end of the cooler with some blocks of wood or something so that the mashing would go in in the corner of the cooler.EDIT: If I used one of my better bottles this would be the first time I'd actually get to see fermentation going on - pretty exciting!What's the volume on that cooler? Or more importantly what's the footprint? If it's a big cooler (48ish qts or bigger) then I think the grain bed is going to be pretty thin. Batch sparging might work though. Alternatively you could use a 5 gallon cooler with something like a an EZ-Mash (wire mesh screen). I'm sure you'd get enough grain depth to fly sparge if you wanted to.As for fermentation, I'd ferment in a 5 gallon carboy and skip secondary.
