50lb bag of oats = x hydrated quarts?

My oysters are loving oats but for anyone who uses them, have you kept track on roughly how many quarts you get out of a #50 bag?
Trying to do a cost analysis for my oysters to include straw, grain, etc.

I use about 3 and 3/4 quarts dry per 10 hydrated quarts. So you could weigh that and do the math for 50 lbs. I'm too lazy to do that.

I don't have any grain atm or I'd just weigh it.
Surely someone has been less lazy than I and paid attention.

Awesome. What about hydrated?
That's the actual number I need to calculate everything

wouldn't knowing that suffice madd?
50 lbs x 450 gram pr lbs = 22500 grams divided by 137 grams pr cup = 164 cups. 1 cup dry grains = 1 qt prepped grains (with rye at least). so that's approx 165 qts of prepped grain pr 50lbs bag...

I haven't measured expansion % of oats. I just know how full to fill my pot, never measured.

Interesting. My Rye expands to almost double volume, and that's slightly on the dry side. I like 750ml in a quart. 1 1/2 cups dry per jar. Translates out well, for me, when I prep 30+ jars....

3 and 3/4 dry quarts = 10 hydrated quarts JARS that are 3/4 full.
For oats.
No soak, no simmer, no rinse. Just boiled for 40-45 minutes or so.
Therefore a 50 pound bag = a shit load of spawn jars.

3,75 dry qt's = 15 cups then which gives 10 prepped qt's. so the 164 dry cups would = 109 prepped qt's (with the numbers used so far).(137g pr cup and 1,5 dry cups pr prepped qt)

Man guys I didn't mean for you to do so much nerd work. Just asked if anyone kept track as they went through a bag lol.
Now find me cubic inches and weight of hydrated oats in stones.

Why are you doing all this? What are you doing that I'm not doing, that requires you to know this instead of just, you know.. getting more oats when you're close to running out?
I guess logistics are cool and all but oats aren't exactly expensive.

Oats rule. 12 bucks for 50 pounds is waaay better than 14 bucks for 40 pounds of wbs. Not to mention the prep is cake and fool proof.
Rye where I am is more expensive as well, I think 25 or so for 50 pounds if I recall.

I'm doing a ROI analysis on my oysters and since I just started using oats I don't have my own numbers yet.
I wanna get a ballpark idea of "if I have to spend $50 on supplies,and x amount on energy and fuel costs what do I need to charge per pound at the farmers market to make a few bucks."
If I could grow something pricey like morels I wouldn't worry about it but there's a very thin margin with oysters.
