With some of the stouts I read up to 19 pounds grain for a 5 gallon batch.
Is there a general rule on ratios of how many pounds of grain displace a gallon of liquid by volume? This before adding 1.25 quarts water per pound of grain.
Reason asking is to brew a 10 gallon batch the 15.5 gallon MLT keg would sound too small, if it could handle it the fly sparge would be above the keg watering the floor.
