This is rated for 25 lbs.  That, generally speaking, is for pet food.  This has a stated capacity of 33 quarts. 33 Quarts = 8.25 gallons. My estimation for unmilled grain storage capacity is 5 lbs per gallon. At that rate, this would hold about 41.25 lbs of grain.  This is a rough estimate. Actual storage capacity will vary.
