About this calculator

This calculator converts the firkin — a traditional English cask size equal to a quarter of a beer barrel, or 9 imperial gallons — into litres and imperial gallons, using the relationship 1 firkin ≈ 40.9 litres.

The firkin is still a working unit in British and Commonwealth brewing: cask ale is traditionally racked and sold in firkins, so brewers, pub cellar staff and beer enthusiasts encounter it whenever cask conditioning or delivery volumes come up, even though the rest of the world measures beer in litres or standard kegs.
