Note that "Gall" isn't the entire word, and it's not an "i" as the vowel. I believe it might be better quoted as: Gallns
IOW, I think "Gill" would be a good guess but not the right answer. I think it is actually "Gallons," as yefragetuwrabrumuy and Pharmboy wrote.

It makes sense, because the traditional beer cask was 36 gallons.
30 gallons water + 3 gallons molasses + 1 quart yeast + some airspace and there you are.
