Wort is produced at a brewery by cooks. It is the initial step to making beer - fermenting wort in a fermenting barrel for 6 days it becomes beer.

Acquisition

Wort can be crafted by cooks at a Brewery, which requires the Beer brewing research project to have been completed in order to be constructed. Each batch requires Hops 25 Hops and 1,000 ticks (16.67 secs) of work, and produces Wort 5 wort. The amount of time it takes to complete the bill is determined by the colonist's Drug Cooking Speed.

It can also rarely be found as loot at faction bases and quest sites alongside fermenting barrels.

Summary

The sole purpose of wort is to produce beer. 1 wort item is converted into 1 beer at a fermenting barrel. Haulers can fill barrels with up to 25 wort at a time. After being put into the barrel, the fermentation process takes 6 days.

You can fill a barrel with less than 25 wort, but adding wort after will delay progress (proportional to wort added). For example, if you add 5 wort to a barrel containing 5 wort, progress will be halved.

Analysis

Wort sells for less than beer or even its composite hops, so its only real purpose is to be part of the brewery process. It is recommended to set stockpile near your fermenting barrels and/or brewery stations.

Unrefrigerated wort rots in only a few days, so be careful when storing them. Usually, it is best to put wort into a fermenting barrel immediately. Unless you don't have enough barrels to support your wort, there is little point in keeping it.
