Yes, but British fluid ounces are a different size. 16 British ounces

US ounce = 29 1/2 mls - close, but when scaling up, it distorts rather
quickly.
A US gallon is only .8 of an Imperial gallon.
But it all comes to nothing here because most everybody but the US
cooks by weight. Brits typically use their kitchen scales to cook with
- much more accurate than volume measure.
Those ounces...
Any conversions from volume to weight in the kitchen can only be
approximate.
