Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 245g/cup ÷ 16 = gallons

Start with 100 pounds of buttermilk
Convert pounds to grams: 100 × 453.59 = 45,359.24g
1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
45,359.24g ÷ 245g/cup = 185.14 cups ÷ 16 = 11.57 gallons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
