How many cups of beer in a quarter keg?

A keg is technically any type of steel container used to serve beer from using either pressurized air for carbon dioxide. What most people think of a keg is actually a 1/2 barrel. A barrel is equal to 31 gallons (US). What most people call a keg is actually a 1/2 barrel, so 15.5 gallons. Oddly enough, what most people call a 1/4 keg is actually a 1/4 barrel, not a 1/4 of what people think of when they think of a keg (which is a 1/2 barrel). So a 1/4 keg (aka 1/4 barrel) is 7.75 gallons. There's 128oz of beer in a gallon. Assuming you want a cup of beer to be 12oz, which is what is in a bottle or can of beer, there will be 82.67 cups of beer in a 1/4 keg (aka 1/4 barrel).


How many 30 packs of beer fill a keg?

12 thirty packs! Since keg sizes are not standardized, the keg cannot be used as a standard unite of measure for liquid volumes. This size standard varies from country to country and brewery to brewery with many countries using the metric system rather than U.S. gallons. In the US, however, a "full keg" or "half barrel" contains 15.5 and therefore depending on the quality of the fill anywhere from 150-165 12 oz. beers. Doing the math, that means that 5 to 5.5 "30 packs of beer fill a keg."


How many ounces are in a European half barrel?

A half barrel is normally indicating a wine barrel, as opposed to a crude oil barrel. Europe, including the UK had multiple measurement systems but this one was standard throughout, for wine and beer. (beer volumes are now measured differently) A wine barrel is 31.5 wine gallons, equal to the US standard gallon (this is where the US standard came from). A gallon in this measurement system is 128 fluid ounces. A half barrel is 15 3/4 gallons. 15.75 x 128 = 2016 fl.oz. By water weight this fluid ounce is 29.6 grams, an ounce weight is 28.35 grams so by weight this 2016 fl.oz. would be 2104 and 7/8 ounces(or imperial fl. oz.). An imperial barrel is 26 imperial gallons or 4160 ounces; a half barrel imperial is thus 2080 fl.oz. imperial. A 50 liter keg on the other hand is equal to 1763.67 imperial fluid ounces, a keg usually refers to a half barrel in most systems, in the US system this would be 1689.2 fl. oz.
