converting gallons to lbs

[Thomas]

You have 10 gallons of grapes?

If you mean that you have grapes filling a ten-gallon container, that is not 10 gallons of grapes.

You can weigh them but really, why don't you just press the grapes and see how many gallons of juice you get out of them?

If I remember correctly, approximately 13 pounds of wine grapes are required to make a gallon of finished wine--or on a grander scale, it takes a ton of grapes to produce 150 gallons.
