Have you ever been asked, "What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?"
16 oz. by volume isn't always 16 oz. by weight.

I would suspect that a pound of flour can have a volume as little as 2 3/4 cups on a very humid day and as much as 3 1/4 cups on a very dry day.

When you read a bread recipe that calls for measured flour, it will always say something like "2 1/2 - 3 cups of flour."
You make the recipe with the 2 1/2 cups and then augment it with the other half cup as needed, if it is needed at all.

Always try to use a bread recipe that calls for weighed flour.
The measurement will be exact and your bread will never come out heavy or pasty tasting unless you mess something else up.

I always try to add some yeast to my breads unless they are dessert breads.
I like the flavor of the yeast.
The beer adds that missing yeast flavor and dark beer adds even more flavor from the caramelized sugars from the roasted barley.
I'm afraid Bud Light has neither of those qualities.

I do not have access to my kitchen scale or recipe books at the moment.
They are all packed away.
The values I used are from memory and are only approximations, but you get the point.

I hope this helps someone.
