Pre-Holiday Humpday Hooplah!

Folks,

I took this week off and am spending most of it in the workshop tending to all those things I never seem to have time for throughout the year...like cleaning.

But Christmas is approaching and that means family will be visiting. And when my family visits I am inspired to have a few beers! How many? Well I may be exaggerating but enough to fill something that a cooper would make that holds the equivilent of 9 US gallons. What is it??

Re: Hint

If you're talking Beer, that would be a Kilderkin. I love the names of measure on jolly 'ole England. I think they thought them all up near closing time IN the Pub!
