About Milliliters
A milliliter (mL) is one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) and exactly equal to one cubic centimeter (cc/cm³). It is one of the most commonly used units in everyday life - standard medicine doses, cooking measurements, and beverage labels all reference milliliters. A standard teaspoon holds about 5 mL, a tablespoon 15 mL, and a standard wine glass typically 150-250 mL. The milliliter is the workhorse of liquid measurement in medicine, cooking, chemistry, and consumer products worldwide, bridging the gap between the full liter and laboratory-scale measurements.
About Firkins
A firkin (fir) ≈ 34.07 L (9 US gallons) - the most common cask for British real-ale delivery (9 imperial gallons = 40.91 L). A busy pub cellar cycles through several firkins per week. Craft breweries stage 'firkin tappings' of limited experimental ales. The name comes from Middle Dutch 'vierdekijn' (little fourth), as a firkin was one quarter of a barrel. 1 fir = 9 US gal ≈ 34.07 L.
