How many cups in a KEG?
Rick
Alrighty then, first we need to know where you are to determine the capacity
of the keg.... Call your supplier, and they'll know, and they may even be
able to directly answer your question for you...
Now let me think....
(I'm in Canada, the largest keg I own is standard, I believe, at 12 Imperial
gallons/15 US Gallons/55 liters.... of course, these are rough numbers)..
One cup would be 8 or 12 ounces... for the sake of math, call it 8, so four
cups to a quart(32 oz), four quarts to a gallon (16 cups).... so, about 200
or so servings per keg....
Of course, my math could be completely wrong, along with the numbers I'm
working from... but the basic conversions are 1 us gallon = .8333 Imperial
gallons = 3.846 liters.
Hopefully that's of some help to you.

A US barel is 31 gal, keg 15.5 gal, and a half or pony keg 7.75 gal.
Don't forget to figure on some foam. A half keg has about 8 servings. :]

True, the foam will make a noticable difference... And thanks fo the
numbers.. I generally don't have the need for them specifically, but I'll
file them with the rest of my convertion tables etc..

8 oz is the technical measurement of a cup, but in the US a cup of beer is at
least 10, usually 12, and sometimes 16 oz. Using the typial 12 oz size it
comes out to roughly 150 beers.

In the UK at least, the word keg doesn't indicate any particular size,
just a container of fizzy beer (as opposed for cask for Real Ale).
The standard size from which things are measured is a barrel
(36 UK gallons - approx 43 US gallons).
Most casks in use are firkins (9 gallons) kilderkins (18 gallons).
Lesser used sizes are pins (4 1/2 gallons), barrels, and hogsheads (54
gallons).
There are also some metric containers - 50litres (known as 11's) and
100 litres (22's). Just to be confusing Whitbread (and Salopian)
use 10 gallon casks.
Most kegs are 10, 11 or 22 gallons.
(All UK gallons of course).
Simple, eh.

Heh, here in the Colonies we adopted the old wine-barrel standard, so
in the US today a barrel is 31 US gallons (about 26 UK gallons).
In the States, "keg" is pretty much a generic term used interchangably
with "barrel," (with one exception):
1 barrel = 31 gallons = a "full keg"
1/2 barrel = 15-1/2 gallons = a "half keg"
1/4 barrel = 7-3/4 gallons = a "quarter keg"
1/8 barrel = 3-7/8 gallons = an "eight keg"
The exception is the half-keg. Since the full-keg is somewhat unusual,
the size most people are familiar with is the half-keg. Hence, when
someone in the US says "keg" what they -usually- mean is the 15.5 gallon
half-keg.
There's another term "pony keg," the use of which varies regionally:
In some parts of the country it means a 1/4-barrel; in others it means
an 1/8-barrel.
}Simple, eh.
Absolutely. :-)
