(KGT 99):  Ale [{wornagh}] is often stored in a large vat ({qegh}) rather than in a {bal}.

(KGT 97):  The equipment needed for the preparation of Klingon food is rather minimal, consisting pretty much of pots or vats ... A square or rectangular tub used to hold food while it is fermenting is called a {'Ib} 

Bloodwine is transported and stored in metal barrels (DS9 "Apocalypse Rising", DS9 "Warriors of the Empire").

(quljIb, 12/06/12):  "Martok refers a number of times to *cases* of bloodwine. I presume this is a box-shaped container {ngaSwI'}, convenient for shipping, with a standard number of bloodwine bottles {'Iw HIq balmey} therein." 

PUN: "keg"
