Keg Volume Calculator — Remaining Beer

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

Type and size of your keg

How you want to measure remaining volume

Current weight of keg with beer

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.
