vat
Brewery's big basin
A vat is a large container for holding liquids, especially in industrial processes like brewing, dyeing, or winemaking: The grapes were crushed and left to ferment in oak vats.
The word suggests something too big to move easily—a permanent fixture rather than a portable vessel. (Uppercase VAT is a tax.)
