So I'm talking to this guy selling glass carboys and he tells me that they are 19L. I assume this means to be 5 gal, but he corrects me and tells me that a 5 gal carboy is actually 23 L.
And this is something I've noticed at the HBS for their 5 gal carboys. I have one at home, but when you fill it up its well over 20 L, probably 23 L like this guy says. So that makes it about 6.1 USgal and about 5 ImpGal. So is that how these things are classified, in Imperial Gallons? Or is that just for us up here in Canada?
None of this really matters, though. What has me concerned now is what the actual volume of a 5 gal corny keg is, because thats the system I plan on setting up soon. So what is the max fill volume on a 5 gal crony keg? Anyone know or can check?
And assuming I want it full in the end, what volume should I start with in primary?
