>Susan, what is the approximate volume of a pound of beet pulp?

It really varies, but a two-pound coffee can holds about four pounds of beet
pulp *pellets*.  The shredded is less dense, not sure about the volume of
that.

Since soaking it really isn't critical, I don't really measure, but again,
the pellets will soak up much more than the shredded.  I usually add about
three measures water for one measure pellets.  If there's juice left in the
bottom, they get that in their tubs, too.  You can hear the slurping and
slobbering for miles.

Sure is.  Sure can.  :-)
