Default Most grain in a converted keg ?

What's the most grain you have used in a converted keg/mash tun..I'm looking at a recipe for an IPA that uses 37 lbs...The most I ever used is 30 or 31 lbs.

Thanks Pat

Green Bay Rackers--Mash Calculators

The third calculator down is the one you need. It looks like it will be close 14.5 Gallons at a 1.25:1 ratio. If you drop your water down to 1:1, it might work better.

I can fit 21 lbs in a 1/4 keg just barely. SO 37 in a half should be no sweat.
