What is the weigh of draft beer?
Pointer
Bud Draft and Bud Light Draft.

In case you need help with the math, a gallon is 128 oz. or 8-16oz. cans.

If I know the weight I can convert it fluid ounces (right, 1 gal = 16
fl oz) which is how I keep inventory.

Like the guy said, it's probably easier to weigh a known amount on your
scale (since it's going to have to be a pretty accurate scale) and work it
out from there. For rough, I figure one oz. weight to one fl. oz., one of
the few SAE conversions that actually works. At least, for water. Beer is
slightly less...which is why you'd be best off weighing it.
IMO, YMMV.

around.
Add some for the packaging, and remember you can never quite squeeze all
the liquid out of a keg.

I have noted your comment that some beer stays in the keg.

LOL!
Only in the US my friend.
Elsewhere 1 pint = 20 fl. oz
1 gallon = 8 pints = 10 pounds
Pointer
gallon has 160 fl oz (20 X 8).
However,
I think 1 gallon weigh has 128 fl oz and there is about 16 fl oz to 1
oz in weight. So 128 / 16 equals 8.0 pounds unless you're on Jupiter
where the gravity is a bit more.

I think it must be because gravity is a bit less in the USA than the rest of
the planet, so that is why most space missions are launched from there as
well.

former is, of course, Bud Light.

Okay, then a half-barrel keg's worth of beer would weigh 1984 oz., or 124
lbs....but Del Strandburg at Spartanburg Stainless (where they make the kegs
that A-B uses) told me that the full weight of a 1/2 bbl. keg of beer (beer
weight plus keg weight) is 162 lbs., and I don't think the empty keg weighs
38 lbs. So now I'm not sure what's going on here.
Lew Bryson
1.012, the beer weighs 50.6 kilos. That same 50 liter keg full of WATER at a
gravity of 1 weighs 50 kilos. So you'd need to know the final gravity of the
beer to be really precise...and the weight of the empty (truly empty) keg.

quarts made a gallon...32*4=128
Maybe things have changed since then.
Are there still only 50 states or is it up to 52 now?

Well, you know...I was just wondering....I know a barrel of beer is 31
gallons of beer. But is that a U.S gallon made up of 8 pints (128 oz.) or is
it an imperial gallon made of 8 imperial pints (160 oz.)? Anyone know FOR
SURE? Please, guys...I'm perfectly capable of my own speculation! Does
anyone actually KNOW?
Just answered my own question: the 1/2 bbl. kegs made by Spartanburg
Stainless are 58.666 liters, which makes a full barrel 117.33 liters, or 31
U.S. gallons. Okay, settled.

It was considered in the seventies, but we got distracted by some
shiny things and disregarded it.

Of course, you big bing-bong, but what am I going to do about it? Insist
that the gas station measure MY gas in liters? Tell the deli counter guy
that he's weighing kilos for me today? Only buy beer that comes in 50 liter
kegs? "The metric system" is a deadly issue in American politics. I could go
metric tomorrow...but what would it get me? Nothing. The rest of the
country's got their head up their SAE ass.

Hey, don't include me in that "rest of the country" stuff. I'm with ya
bud. Let's go metric tomorrow. :-) Oh, wait, we did that already...

I see that nobody actually answered your question, so...
Bud/Bud Light and beers of similar ilk weight about 8-1/3 pounds per
US gallon (128 fl. oz). That's about 130 lbs. per keg (15.5 gallon
half-barrel).
Higher gravity beers will weigh a little more, but not an extremely
significant amount -- maybe 5-10% for a really dense barleywine.
The keg itself weighs between 10 and 20 pounds, typically, depending on
the style of keg, so when you sling that half od Bud Light around you're
looking at hefting somewhere in the neighborhood of 140-150 lbs.
HTH. ;-)
