Keg Volume Calculator — Remaining Beer

Calculate how much beer remains in a keg from its weight or CO2 usage.

How We Calculate This

Weight Method

Remaining litres = (Current weight - Empty weight) / Beer density

Beer density is approximately 1.01 kg/L for most beers. Higher gravity beers may be 1.02-1.03 kg/L.

CO2 Method

Remaining litres = Keg capacity - (CO2 used g / CO2 per litre)

Approximately 2.5g of CO2 is used per litre dispensed at typical serving pressures.
