Exact dilution and no calculations needed.


Except that it would be handy, on occasion, to know if your container was
going to be large enough to hold the final product *before* you start
mixing...


Uh, *that* particular concern is pretty weak, Doug, as far as a benefit
to one system or the other. Either you have a 37 gallon (or liter)
container, or you don't.


I was addressing solely the idea of "no calculations needed". Clearly one
simple calculation is required, if you wish to be sure ahead of time that the
container will be large enough.
