stavros S Curious, do you know? Thank you. Stavros #1 · Apr 27, 2016 Curious, do you know? Thank you. Stavros Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · Apr 27, 2016 If you can do the conversion yourself, I can get 15 kilos of honey in a 10 litre bucket. #3 · Apr 27, 2016 12# per gallon. 5 X 12 = 60. #4 · Apr 27, 2016 OK, yantabulla's answer after the conversion is 12.5 pounds of honey per gallon, and Genos's is 12 pounds of honey per gallon. Close enough. Stavros #5 · Apr 27, 2016 Depends on how full it is. #6 · Apr 27, 2016 You thought about it, but you said it anyway. It's hard not to respect that. Show more replies 0 Reply #7 · Apr 27, 2016 It depends. Is it Chinese honey? Is it a full bucket? I'm pretty sure it should be 12 pounds per gallon #8 · Apr 27, 2016 >Depends on how full it is.

Yes it does. #9 · Apr 27, 2016 60 lbs of honey in 5 gallons. 5 gallons is 5 gallons. weight can very depending on the honey itself. the rule sis honey weighs 12 lbs per gallon. and again a gallon is a gallon. #10 · Apr 27, 2016 Having filled countless honey containers through the years I have learned the two variables in honey weight are temperature (warm honey expands) and moisture. In addition if the honey is too warm it can aerate if filled too rapidly and with too thin a stream, and that can be a problem as well. Depending on the variables it should run somewhere 11.5 and 12 lbs. per gallon. Most any 5 gallon bucket should have enough headspace to hold 60 lbs. #12 · Apr 28, 2016 Those who think a "5 gallon bucket" is always 5 gallons are doomed to disappointment. :eek:

If you think that's crazy you wouldn't believe the variation in capacities of 55 gallon drums. 0 Reply Insert Quotes Post Reply
