What old measure equals 8 gallon's?

The answer might be "firkin". Then again, it might not; old units of measure are notoriously variable, and a firkin has variously been defined as 8 gallons, 8.5 gallons, or 9 gallons (the modern definition is 9 Imperial gallons). Complicating things slightly is that techically that refers to an ale or beer firkin; a wine firkin is a significantly larger unit (a wine firkin is currently equivalent to 7 and 7/9ths ale firkins).
