Is this a trick question? 1gal of anything weights 1gal. One gallon of liquid lead doesn't weigh the same as one gallon of melted marshmallows. That's why a people say "she looks like she smacked in the face with a bag of nickels" instead of "She looks like she got smacked in the face by a bag of melted marshmallows" The first implies the female in question is ugly. The second implies someone is watching a japanese porn video....... |

Quoted: About the same as water - between 8 and 9 pounds, depending on what kind of gravy. You make some shitty gravy. Grav (Im on a 1st name basis with it) is mostly fat and should be much lighter than water. Unless it has nice chunks of meat in it then all bets are off. |

There's no way it can weigh more than water. |

What is the weight difference between the following? 1 gal water 1 gal whole milk 1 gal skim milk Whole milk weights a little less than water. Probably less than 5% difference. There's practically no discernible difference between skim milk and water. I mean that in every possible way. |

Bacon grease weighs 87% of what water weighs. Everything else in the gravy is going to have a higher specific gravity than that. Your finished product is going to be about 92-95% of the specific gravity of water. It will be higher (slightly) for country gravy that has a lot of meat solids and is thickened with flour.
Teh call me Dr. Gravy! Take ALL the drippings. Seperate the Grease from the juice and set the grease aside. Reduce the meat juice by about 1/2-2/3 depending and add cornstarch. Add the grease back in and Simmah. Pour yourself a glass and Enjoy! |

What does a Gallon of Fresh Water weigh What does a Gallon of Salt Water Weigh "Salt water" could mean anything from sea water to brine. Sea water has a specific gravity of 1.025. Fresh water is about 8.34 lb/gal, and sea water is about 8.55 lb/gal. I meant Sea Water I have a 180 gal SW aquarium and it is alot of weight |
