How Much Volume Does Grain Occupy in Storage

June 10th, 2012

I recently purchased a dozen half gallon sized Ball brand mason jars to store specialty beer brewing grains. A good deal of google research only revealed how much volume grain would occupy in a mash not in dry storage. Well here is a picture of one pound of black patent malt in a half gallons son jar. As you can see it will hold about 2 pounds and some change. Perfect for small amounts of specialty grain the local home brew shop never has.
