How Much Is 656 Grams of Buttermilk in Gallons?
656 grams of buttermilk equals 0.17 gal. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup. Because grams measure weight and gallons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 656 grams of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 656g ÷ 245g/cup = 2.68 cups ÷ 16 = 0.17 gallons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Gallon?
For large-batch cooking, 1 US gallon is approximately 3.8 liters. The imperial gallon (4.5 liters) is no longer commonly used in the UK for cooking, as most modern British recipes use metric measurements.
