Weight for a bucket of juice

[wineview]

Hard to believe but I can't find this information anywhere online. What is the weight for a six gallon bucket of juice. I am thinking of buying seven and transporting in a subaru Forester.

Thanks

Slightly, if any, above the weight of water, just allow for 8.5 pounds per gallon.

Yes-I was going to say 60 pounds give or take including the bucket.

So 60 x 7 = 420 pounds. Subaru should handle that fine. THat's 2 large adults in the back seat which I'm sure has been done.

Thanks all. Looking forward to getting my juice this year. I better get to bottling last year’s batch. Racked them all between 6-7 times in the past 10 months. All look very clear and clean.

Don't rush it. Better to buy a couple more carboys and age them another 6-12 months than bottle too early and drink before they peak.
