What's the maximum amount of grain I can mash it a 5 gallon cooler?
Or, how much volume does a pound of satured grain consume?
 
I have a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon cooler. I can fit about 12# max in the 5, so there is a tad amount of room at the top for sparging, and I haven't stuffed the 10 full yet (about 20# so far).
 
Just did 13.5lbs in a 5gal. A bit thick and filled to the top, but all I had.
