Question
how much does the averege keg hold?
also how much does the averege pot hold?

Answer
A full barrel keg in the US holds 31 gallons.  More typically, you'll see half-barrel kegs that hold 15.5 gallons or quarter-barrel (often called "pony") kegs that hold 7 3/4 gallons.

I'm not sure what you mean by "average pot".  If you mean the sort of thing you cook soup or spaghetti in, the largest 1-handled pot is usually 3-4 quarts, while two-handled "stock pots" can be 6 or 8 quarts.  Larger pots are available, such as canning kettles that hold 13 or 22 quarts (5.5 gallons).
