how many lbs of grain in a gallon?
|
|
Don't have any grain here right now, but am looking for a rough estimate. Am looking at some storage containers that I hope will fit 2-3 sacks. Thanks....

I think when I did it with crushed grain it was about a pound per quart, so 4:1

18 gallons fits a 50# sack of barley with some room to spare, probably 10lbs of grain worth. So if I had to guess, I'd say 3 pounds / gallon.

I can easily fit a 50-lb bag of uncrushed 2-row in two 5-gallon buckets.

18 gallons ought to fit at least 75 lbs of grain I would think. |

Yeah I have a fair amount of headspace in my 18g container, it could probably fit another 20 pounds, but it's hard for me to visualize that.

Cool thanks. Seems then that two bags, possibly 55lb-ers, would fit in a 20G unit. Definitely 3 in a 35.

Yes, two 55lb sacks should fit in a 20G unit. It's usually 1 sack per 10gal.
