I'm not sure my calculations are correct but I think that with a max grain bill of 6 Kg then 30 litres after the boil would give a max OG of:
1.044 at 70% efficiency
1.035 at 55% efficiency
for 25 litres that becomes
1.053 at 70% efficiency
1.042 at 55% efficiency
So if the post I quoted earlier is correct then 30 litres seems possible unless I want a high OG beer (although at 20 litres / 6 Kg then 1.067 is achievable at 70% efficiency).
Am I missing something?
It goes back to my original question:

I am therefore assuming that the malt pipe is not a water volume limitation but does limit the total malt weight that can be used and hence the beer strength.
