When D = 12 inches you know you've got a winner :) :ban:

D = SqRt(4*(volume)/(height)*pi) source: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/formula-for-diameter-of-cylinder-using-height-volume.223479/ Volume is length cubed. And thanks to google 1 qt = 57.75 cubic in. So, SqRt(4*(30qt * 57.75 cubic in/qt) / 15 in*3.1415926) SqRt(6930 cubic in /...

What part of Cowtown are you in? I'm up in Frisco and would be interested in 5 gallons of your finest at your next shindig. My main question is what efficiencies you get off the rubbermaid MLT? As far as i'm aware the efficiency is based on the MLT design, correct? - Penn
