The fermenting barrel converts wort into beer over a lengthy process.

Acquisition

Fermenting barrels can be constructed once the Beer brewing research project has been completed. They require Steel 10 Steel, Wood 30 Wood and 600 ticks (10 secs) of work.

Summary

Fermenting barrels convert wort into beer, at a ratio of 1 wort per 1 beer. Each barrel can hold up to 25 wort at a time. Haulers fill barrels with wort.

After wort has been loaded, it must ferment. The fermenting process takes 6 days. Fermentation begins as soon as the first wort is planted. Adding more wort later does not reset the timer entirely, but rather delays it. On the barrel, there is a bar that serves as both the progress bar and the contents bar. The length of the bar is dependent on the amount of wort that is inside, while the color indicates how close it is to completion- brown means it has just started, and yellow means it has finished.

During this period, the room temperature must be maintained between 7 °C – 32 °C (44.6 °F – 89.6 °F) for fermentation to continue. If the barrel is kept below -1 °C (30.2 °F) or above 32 °C (89.6 °F), for too long, the fermentation will be completely ruined and no wort or beer can be obtained.

A fermenting barrel can be moved and reinstalled without resetting the fermenting process, however an uninstalled barrel halts the timer (apparently) indefinitely.[Temperature?]

    An example brewery set up

    It is wise to put your fermentation barrels near your brewery stations, to minimize the hauling work required. Since hops lasts a long time before spoiling (30 days), it can be safely stored in a warm room.

    If the temperature is too hot/cold when a solar flare disables your electric devices, you can use campfires or passive coolers to save your beer.
