I was thinking "moons" as a period of time, so a lunar month : [time][volume]/[volume]

As in "We'll see 3 more moons before yon mountain dons his snowy cape." or some such yokel-ese.

Well, fourscore hogshead per gross of firkin is 3.8̄ (i.e. 35/9), so fourscore hogshead-moons per gross of firkin is about 115 days.
It was intended as a witty remark, I only parsed for unitary conformance not for value and didn't bother to answer the question.

Perhaps you'd like to do it and provide the answer in these units?
