>>>  "Are you supposed to mix 20 pounds sugar with 10 pounds water?  I have always mixed 2 gallons of sugar with 1 gallon of water."  The effective density of dry granulated sugar is within a few percent of
 the density of water.  2:1 by volume is essentially identical to 2:1 by
 weight in this situation.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was curious so measured a 10# bag of sugar into a gallon container and smaller containers.  I found that 10# of sugar measured out to 5 1/2 quarts dry volume.
