A barrel is one of several units of volume applied in various contexts; there are dry barrels, fluid barrels (such as the U.K. beer barrel and U.S. beer barrel), oil barrels, and so forth. For historical reasons the volumes of some barrel units are roughly double the volumes of others; volumes in common use range approximately from 100 to 200 ...
Initially 32 ale or beer gallons (147.9 L), it was redefined in 1688 as 34 ale or beer gallons (157.1 L), and again in 1803 as 36 ale or beer gallons (166.4 L). barrel (Beer) The beer barrel was defined as 36 ale or beer gallons until the adoption of the imperial system. barrel (Ale) (Imperial), barrel (Beer) (Imperial)
Most U.S. brewers sell beer in 1 ⁄ 2 barrels of 15.5 gallons, 1 ⁄ 4 barrels of 7.75 gallons, and 1 ⁄ 6 barrels of 5.17 gallons. Since keg sizes are not standardized, the keg cannot be used as a standard unit of measure for liquid volumes. Despite this, a number of people still refer to kegs as if they were a unit of measure.
Prior to metrication, in the United Kingdom, the standard single measure of spirits in a pub was 1 ⁄ 6 gill (23.7 mL) in England and Northern Ireland, and either 1 ⁄ 5 gill (28.4 mL) or 1 ⁄ 4 gill (35.5 mL) in Scotland. After metrication, this was replaced by measures of either 25 or 35 millilitres (0.176 or 0.246 gi), at the discretion ...
A firkin was also a British unit for the sale of beer. It is one quarter of a barrel and its value depends on the current size of a barrel, but at present: [7] 1 firkin = 0.25 barrel = 9 imperial gallons = 10.8 U.S. gallons = 41 litres. A wine firkin was much larger: 1 wine firkin = 70 imperial gallons. [8]
A basic formula [4] to calculate beer strength based on the difference between the original and final SG is: A B V = 131.25 ( O G − F G ) {\displaystyle ABV=131.25(OG-FG)} The formula below [ 5 ] is an alternate equation which provides more accurate estimates at higher alcohol percentages (it is typically used for beers above 6 or 7%).
