Many recipes understandably contain metric units. Here are some of the more important conversions to our dumb units.If I have a 5 gallon carboy full of beer, how many bottles will I need?

- For 22 oz. bottles, about 29 bottles. (1 US Gal = 128 US Fluid oz. 128 fl. oz. / 22 fl. oz. = 5.8 bottles/gallon. 5.8 bottles/gallon * 5 gallons = 29.1 bottles.)
