Grain weight in kg = 432 * (container capacity in litres / 1000)

Assuming grain density == 432 kg/cu-m from http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_materials.htm

So a 1 litre jug will hold 432g. DaaB's 2l jug will hold 864g of grain.

Therefore, DaaB's 2l jug weighs 136g

There are strange gravitational forces at work around Southampton - that's why DaaB never ventures too far North.

You could always multiply by 0.001 but I think that will give you the same result anyway

You need to get those scales checked out DaaB !
