What is a Firkin:
A firkin is a unit of measure and also the size of a particular kind of keg used for cask conditioning; one quarter of a barrel, 72 pints, 9 imperial gallons. Firkins can be wooden or metal. The most curious thing about them is the manner in which they are tapped. As you can see, in order to keep air out, the keg is laid on its side and the spout is driven in horizontally. It can get a bit messy if not done correctly.
