Yes...in another article about this, I believe they said it was short for a gallon.

Given the proportions for the final batch, I think they meant 'gill' rather than 'gall'.

A gill is a quarter of a pint or a half cup.

Note that this is a recipe for small beer. I am sure that additional water was added later.

“What the he** is a Gall?”

It is that little appendage in your gut that has no known use but it tends to act up once in awhile and creates all sorts of he**
