What is a hogshead used to measure?

A hogshead is a traditional liquid volume unit mainly used to describe wine, beer, and spirits cask capacities.

What does stere [st] measure?

Stere [st] is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic metre, typically used for measuring the volume of stacked wood or bulk materials.

Can the conversion between hogshead and stere be exact?

No, because hogshead volumes vary historically and regionally, and stere measures stacked volume, so exact conversions are approximate.
