[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1770932, member: 25884"] [USER=40587]@Warren Allison[/USER] is pretty much right. No matter the source, the weight of a gallon of water in the US, is around 8.3 lbs. The weight of a gallon of water in the UK and places that are based on their system; the imperial system; is about 10.2 lbs or so... The weight of a gallon of RAW milk in the US is about 8.6 lbs... depending on the butterfat and the protein content (solids non fat). The old rule of thumb is ; A pint's a pound the world around. It is a basic way to compare things but not precise to the exact.... That is why a pound cake is called that... it is a pound of each ingredient... about a pint of each be it liquid or dry. As the amount increases, because there is a difference in the US measurements compared to the UK and other countries that use the imperial system... and then there is the liter measurements.....then the weight will change. How many of us say a liter is ABOUT a quart... the liter being a little bigger so a qt of something is about .9+ of a liter. And don't forget, a "wet" or liquid measure is different from a "dry " measure.... [/QUOTE]
