I am thinking of building a mash tun with a chest cooler I have laying around. I have a 48 quart cooler and a 100 quart cooler. I really only do 5 gallon batches and the occasional 10 gallon batch. I am guessing the 100 quart would be too big for my purposes. Would the 48 quart be a good size?
 
Yea 48 quart is probably ideal. That's 12 gallon, shouldn't have any problem with big beers and won't lose too much heat with a lot of headspace.
