Were I to need to weigh a tank full of beer at the top of a large, ah,
delivery system, I might be tempted to use a meat scale or a fish scale,
you know, the kinds that a full rack of beef or a large saltwater fish
would be hung from to be weighed...

The other possibility I'd look into would be a differential gauge at the
top,
with a tube running down into the beer and another open to the air.
Automatically self corrects for atmospheric conditions...
