How full (Weight) do you fill your Kegs?

What happens when your fg changes? Close enough you don't care?

fwiw, I rely on a spreadsheet that HBT member @kaljade created that accounts for FG and a few other metrics to predict fill volume mass. I have a copy on my Google Drive and the link can be found in my post #37 this thread:

I'd drop the link here but it gets mucked up...

Cheers!

[ps] The version on my Google Drive is the same as that linked by Kal himself below

The final version of this spreadsheet (dated 8/1/2019), is located here:

Not sure if it's the same version as the one @day_trippr has on his drive, but no further development has/will likely be done to it.

Cheers,

Kal

My beer's FG doesn't change much, close enough.

I think I usually hope to see 41 lbs hit the scale after I tare it out prior to the transfer. Hasn’t been happening lately, but not like I can do much about it when it doesn’t.

Last transfer a couple weeks ago was 38.7, and I just stared at it for a little bit wondering why?? Why can’t I get a full keg? I opened up the torpedo, saw the floating dip tub in all the trub and got over it.

I have no method to measure how close a keg is to getting empty either other than opening up the kegerator and lifting it up and guessing. Which is a PITA when navigating all the various other lines and kegs I don’t care about at that moment.
