"...but the basic measurements for the British hive are: Brood box 18 
1/8" square, 8 7/8" deep.
Supers are 5 7/8" deep"


Seems we have a miscommunication.  That's actual larger than a Typical Lang
deep.  Using your dimesions (roughly as I am not sure if that's outside or
inside)  you have 2835 cubic inches,  and a lang deep has 2630  (rounded)

I assume typically the same beespace.  Ours our roughly 18 X 15 X 9.75 deep
And you mentioned 11 frames??  We run 10 typicaly.

The cube hive as mentioned to me would have been 15X15 inside,  and 9.75
deep....
