A sixtel keg, also known as a 1/6 barrel keg, is a popular choice for smaller gatherings or events where a full-sized keg might be too much. So, how many cans can you expect to get out of a sixtel keg?
To answer this question, we first need to determine the volume of a sixtel keg. A sixtel keg can hold around 5.16 gallons or approximately 661 ounces of liquid. Now, let’s assume we are using standard 12-ounce cans to calculate the number of cans in a keg.
To find the number of cans, we can divide the total volume of the keg by the volume of each can. In this case, 661 ounces divided by 12 ounces equals approximately 55 cans. So, you can expect to get around 55 cans of beer from a sixtel keg.
It’s important to note that this calculation assumes you are using standard 12-ounce cans. If you are using larger or smaller cans, the number of cans will vary accordingly. Additionally, factors such as foam and waste should also be taken into consideration when estimating the number of cans from a keg.
It’s worth mentioning that the number of cans you can get from a keg will also depend on the pouring method and personal preference. Some people may prefer a more generous pour, while others may pour with a more conservative approach. This can impact the number of cans you ultimately get from a keg.
In my personal experience, I have found that the estimated number of cans from a keg is usually a good guideline. However, it’s always a good idea to have some extra cans on hand, just in case. It’s better to have more than you need than to run out during your event.
A sixtel keg can hold approximately 661 ounces of liquid. Using standard 12-ounce cans, you can expect to get around 55 cans of beer from a sixtel keg. However, factors such as foam, waste, pouring method, and personal preference can influence the number of cans you actually get.
