What does KEEVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A large tub or vat used for mixing, fermenting or settling liquids, especially in brewing, cider-making or dyeing.
A keeve was traditionally a wide wooden or metal vessel in which cider or beer was left to settle, or in which cloth was steeped during dyeing. The term belongs mainly to older craft and trade vocabulary rather than to modern industrial equipment, though similar vessels are still used on a smaller scale by traditional cider makers. Its size and open top distinguish the keeve from a sealed fermenting tank.
