About these units
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
Hectoliter (hL)
A hectoliter, equal to 100 liters, is widely used in brewery and wine production, grain measurement, and hydrology. Many countries report beer production in hectoliters, and grain yields (such as wheat or barley) are sometimes expressed this way in agricultural economics. In hydrology, rainfall accumulation or reservoir inflows may be quantified in hectoliters when dealing with moderate-scale measurements. The hL bridges industrial-scale volume tracking with metric simplicity, keeping numbers relatively compact and readable.
