How much does a gallon of whole milk weigh? I am curious about the weight of a gallon of whole milk, as I need this information for a recipe and for understanding the nutritional content better. Can someone please provide the average weight of a gallon of whole milk? Thank you!

I would go to a grocery store and get a gallon of whole milk and take it up to the produce dept. and put it in one of the scales and weigh it. 🙂 Because I really have no idea , but thats what I would do.

Quote from government website:

“a gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds”

Obviously it is assumed that whole milk is the milk used.

Slightly LESS than a gallon of water, despite the dissolved solids. Whole milk also contains about 4% butterfat, which is less dense than water (it floats to the top) and so it weighs less than water does. Milk is the most useless liquid for a standard, because it goes bad. You can’t keep a standard container of milk around for long. Use water as a standard.

a gallon of fluid weighs eight pounds I heard

This isn’t really a may=th question, but here goes.

1 gal H2O weighs about 8.345#/gal

I think milk is a little heavier because there are solids disolved in it so my guess is around 9#/gal.
