How Much
Question:
How I learned this. I bought a beer making kit at Boot’s (British Isles pharmacy / general store) and says makes 24 pints. I add all the ingrediants and couple of weeks later go to bottle the beer. I have enough 12 oz bottles to hold everything and when I run out of bottles still have a bunch of beer. Had to go round up more bottles. Bill

Let me weigh in on this for a second. It’s easy to confuse fluid ounces which measure VOLUME (16 to a PINT) with the ounces that measure WEIGHT (16 to a POUND). There’s an old saying, "A pint’s a pound, the world around." And that saying is close to being true if you’re weighing water or Guinness, both of which come in at around eight and a half pounds to the gallon. In fact a pint (16 fluid ounces) weighs just about 17 weight ounces. A pint of gasoline and a pint of mercury both have the same volume (16 fluid ounces) but no where near the same weight. Confusing, eh? Rob Storm
Response:
Actually water weighs a little more than that. Water weighs 1000 kg/m3 crap in it. If you multiply that by 2.204 lb/1kg and 1m3/264.17 gal to convert the units and we would yield 8.43lb/gal. Multiply that by an average specific gravity of .739 for automobile gas and we would yield 6.23 lbs/gal of gas.

Response:
does a gallon of gas weigh? And Don’t get smart with the leaded or unleaded stuff.. I know you guys… lol … but seriously.. I want to know how much weight my 35 gallons is. I think i heard someplace once that a gallon of water weighs 10 lbs. but that seems too much to me. Thanks guys. Josh.
Response:
Hmmm. 16 oz. in a pint. 16 oz. equal 1 lb. 8 pints in a gallon equal 128 oz. 280 lb’s. Ta Da. No applause necessary. — "Drink apple juice, OJ kills!"

Response:
Approx 5.912 lbs/gal, it has a differnt specific gravity(.739) than water does. Which by the way weighs 8 lbs/gal, I gal = 128 oz *1lb/16oz= 8lbs. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->does a gallon of gas weigh? And Don’t get smart with the leaded or unleaded >stuff..

Response:
how many pounds of draw weight would you recommend to shoot deer? I am 14 years old and have killed two with one shot each from my 30# bow.
Response:
Jordan, Depending upon the state you live in, shooting a 30# bow for deer may be illegal, get with your states fish and game and check the regulations
Response:
Well if you got two dear with one shot each already your doing something right.. (Congratulations!) I’ve heard the Mininum poundage to Hunt with a compound bow is 40 pounds. It may be different for different parts of the country but it should be the same… (It should be in the synopsis each year.)
