I've been using a Coleman Extreme 52quart rectangular cooler with a 12" mash screen for the last few years, but I've recently bought a 15gallon Spike brewing kettle to use as a mash tun. I'm wondering if there is any difference in the process in the cooler vs kettle. I currently batch sparge (and will continue to do so), and have occasionally run into stuck sparges. Is this a bigger issue with a round kettle and false bottom? Should I be dialing down the flow rate when emptying into the boil kettle? Any pointers would be appreciated!
