How Many Litres In Standard Corny

[Fatgodzilla]

Doing some sums for my 2008 brew schedule. Will keg from (say) March when the shed empties of bottled beer - quick question - about to buy some cornies to start process, how many litres of beer goes into the standard corny (If different sizes, I'll be buying the ones Ross is selling) ?

I thought it was 19litres for schweepes kegs...

and 21 for corny;s from the US...

Quoted from ross's website:

"Keg - 19L Cornelius (Used)"

or


"Keg - 9 litre Cornelius (New)"


EDIT: spelink... also most people use the 19l ones they are cheaper and bigger

Quoted from ros website:

"Keg - 19L Cornelius (Used)"

or
"Keg - 9 litre Cornelius (New)"

So you fill them to the brim (19 litres of brew) or is there head space (say 18 litres of brew plus headspace).

Please be specific.

Bloke I can get 19 litres in with adequate headspace (the gas dip tube is not submerged).

+1 - 19L to the weld line where the top meets the sides -

Always like a second opinion.

Thanks all, the answer is important.

There are also 18l kegs that are a bit shorter than the regular corny's. I have one of each and a squat new 23l.
