So 20lb partially filled keg - 11lb = 9lb of beer = 9 pints of beerThanks!While this old saying applies to water, it should be good enough to accomplish your purpose. It refers to 16oz US pints.-A pint's a pound the world around. Which is basically what Dean said.....only in rhyme.

Back when I first made this calculator I posted a thread on the old board about how to calculate the weight of a volume of liquid based on its gravity. I did it so I could fill my kegs on a scale and know when they reach near capacity without having to look in (doing a closed transfer).I expand it so you can do it backwards too, to calculate the volume from the weight, that way you can just write the tare weight on all you kegs and measure their weight to know the quantity left. To me, this would seem a much easier approach than splashing boiling water onto a keg in my kitchen or relying upon a low enough dew point for the condensation trick to work (which it has for me in the past). They also sell those little stickers at micromatic that you can wipe with a wet cloth and they'll show you the level of the keg, but they and the condensation tricks don't seem to work fast enough for handling the filling process from a fermenter.So 20lb partially filled keg - 11lb = 9lb of beer = 9 pints of beerThanks!
