The number of pitchers in a keg depends on the size of the keg and the size of the pitcher.
- Standard keg sizes:
- Full-size keg (also called a half-barrel): Holds 15.5 gallons or about 58.7 liters.
- Quarter barrel keg: Holds 7.75 gallons or about 29.4 liters.
- Mini keg: Holds 1.32 gallons or about 5 liters.
- Pitcher size:
- A typical beer pitcher holds about 0.5 gallons (or 1.89 liters).
Estimation of pitchers per keg:
- Full-size keg (15.5 gallons):
15.5 gallons ÷ 0.5 gallons per pitcher = 31 pitchers. - Quarter barrel keg (7.75 gallons):
7.75 gallons ÷ 0.5 gallons per pitcher = 15.5 pitchers. - Mini keg (1.32 gallons):
1.32 gallons ÷ 0.5 gallons per pitcher = 2.64 pitchers (approximately 2-3 pitchers).
These are approximate calculations and may vary slightly depending on the actual size of the pitcher used.
