Alcohol brewing/es: Difference between revisions

__TOC__

== Alcohol ==

It is noteworthy that at least once distilled, alcohol does not spoil while still providing saturation; therefore turning excess ingredients into alcohol for storage is a valid strategy. Note that for some fruits, this only applies to the second stage of alcohol brewing - distillation - while specifically 'ciders' will still spoil (other fermented types still unconfirmed).<br>

Imbibing alcohol however leads to visual impairment - the player character will swerve their head from left to right, which actually affects movement in the game, since it is hard to walk in a straight line without actively counteracting the movement direction chosen by the swerving head.<br>

The amount and quality of alcohol imbibed influences the severity and duration of impairment.

=== Fermented Alcohol ===

Fermented alcohol provides both satiety and a nutrition value in the fruit category - regardless if the source material actually was a fruit or not. Some fermented alcohol spoils just like its source material, notably all Ciders.<br>

The ratio mentioned refers to the amount of ingredients required in comparison to the alcohol received. The time refers to the duration the ingredients need to be sealed inside a barrel.<br>

Each type of alcohol and its creation process is detailed farther down.

=== Distilled Alcohol ===

Compared to merely fermented alcohol, distilled alcohol offers the same or even less overall saturation and no nutritional benefit. It does however cause worse visual impairment when consumed, but does not rot or turn bad with time.<br>

The ratio mentioned refers to the amount of ingredients required in comparison to the distilled alcohol received. The time refers to the duration the boiler and condenser need to run to produce 1L of distilled alcohol.

== Fermentation ==

Different kinds of base ingredients can be fermented to alcohol by sealing them in a barrel for a specified amount of time. These different base ingredients will result in different kinds of alcoholic beverages, each with their own type name:

* Mead - made from honey

* Cider and Wine - made from different kinds of fruit and berry juices

* Ale - made from different kinds of flour fermented with water

=== Mead ===

[[File:Honey-mead.PNG|200px|thumb|right|A full barrel of honey ready for fermentation]]

Apart from the barrel and bucket, the only ingredient required for mead is honey. Honey can be acquired from bee hives, to ensure a sufficient supply of honey for both brewing and other usage, it is recommended to follow the [[Beekeeping]] guide and build up a well developed beekeeping enclosure.<br><br>

To ferment honey into mead, it simply needs to be transferred into an empty barrel and sealed. The tooltip inside of the barrels UI will inform about the resulting amount as well as the duration the barrel will need to stay sealed. For mead, the conversion from base ingredient to alcohol is 1:1, meaning even just one litre of honey will turn into 1 litre of mead. The sealing duration however is exactly 14 days regardless of the sealed amount. Since honey doesn't spoil, there is therefore no reason to ferment in small increments, instead the player could wait until gathering a full barrel.

=== Cider and Wine ===

[[File:Lychee-cider.PNG|200px|thumb|right|A full barrel of lychee juice ready for fermentation]]

To ferment fruit juice into cider or wine, it simply needs to be transferred into an empty barrel and sealed. The tooltip inside of the barrels UI will inform about the resulting amount as well as the duration the barrel will need to stay sealed. For cider or wine, the conversion from base ingredient to alcohol is 1:1, meaning even just one litre of juice will turn into 1 litre of cider or wine. The sealing duration however is exactly 14 days regardless of the sealed amount.  

Raw fruit itself will spoil rather quickly, as does the juice made from it. Cider and Wine will equally spoil at a slower pace, however they can both be further processed into distilled alcohol which will not spoil regardless of source material.

|To seal the barrel, the juice inside cannot have more then one decimal. For instance, a barrel with 1.13L cannot be sealed for fermentation, however a barrel with 1.1L can be sealed.

=== Ale ===

[[File:Spelt-ale.PNG|200px|thumb|right|A full barrel of water with spelt flour, ready for fermentation]]

To brew ale, a barrel, a liquid container as well as an amount of flour is required. Only specific types of flour can be used for fermentation, specifically:

* spelt

* amaranth

Flax and sunflower flour cannot be used to ferment ale.<br><br>

To ferment flour into ale, a barrel needs to be filled with water and flour in a 1:1 ration, meaning 1 litre of water requires 1 flour. However, the ingredients will not be turned into alcohol with the same ratio, meaning unlike for mead and cider, it requires more base ingredients to acquire the same amount of alcohol. The actual ratio is 5:1, which means it requires 5 litres of water and 5 flour to make 1 litre of ale - therefore 1 litre of water and 1 flour results in 0.2 litres of alcohol. This process can be done in 1 litre steps, however due to the long shelf life of flour there is no urgent need to turn flour into alcohol immediately.<br>

The fermentation process takes 14 days regardless of the amount of ingredients.

|While breadfruit turns into an alcohol titled 'Ale', it does not actually follow the same mechanics of flour based ales and instead behaves like a fruit wine instead.

== Destilación ==

=== Requisitos ===

El proceso de destilación requiere, en primer lugar, una caldera y un condensador. Ambos están hechos de cobre procesado, estaño y plomo o plata - y por lo tanto requieren que el jugador haya alcanzado al menos la edad del cobre, incluyendo un [[anvil/es|yunque]] de cobre acabado.<br>

==== Shopping List ====

For one set of boiler and condenser, the player would need:

* 7 copper plates = 14 copper ingots

* 1 soldering iron = 1 stick and 1 copper chisel (= 1 copper ingot)

* 7 Solder Bars = 2 ingots of either lead or silver solder alloy, as well as a saw with enough remaining durability

==== Soldering Iron ====

==== Barras de soldadura ====

Las barras de soldadura se utilizan, por el momento, exclusivamente para fabricar la caldera y el condensador. Requieren una sierra de cualquier tipo de metal, así como lingotes hechos de una de las dos aleaciones de soldadura disponibles - Soldadura de plomo o Lingotes de soldadura de plata. Estos lingotes pueden crearse mediante [[casting/es|fundición]], combinando estaño con plomo o plata en las cantidades correctas:

* Soldadura de plata: Plata (40% a 50%) y Estaño (50% a 60%)  

<br>

==== Boiler & Condenser ====

Both of these are made mainly from copper and require a Soldering Iron made from copper as well, as seen above.

=== Process ===

# The next step requires a campfire to be set up under the condenser. {{Sprint|Press the sprint button}} while left clicking first the grass and then the firewood in place under the boiler. The campfire should only be ignited once the condensation process can start!

</gallery>

Once the setup is complete, the boiler needs to be filled with an alcoholic beverage - either fermented alcohol or once distilled alcohol - and the condenser needs to be filled with water. Before starting the process, a bucket needs to be placed under the condenser snout.

The boiler can be filled with up to 30 litres of the same alcohol, whereas the condenser can hold 10 litres of water at a time. The campfire below the boiler can take up to 4 pieces of firewood each time, which amounts to a burn time of 8 hours. At the moment, it is not possible to directly open the firepit GUI and input more than 4 pieces - however it is possible to restock fuel and alcohol during the process.<br>

<br><br>

Below is a table of required source alcohol, water and fuel to receive a certain amount of distilled alcohol. The time needed includes initial heating time and the firewood needed takes into consideration, that 4 pieces are needed to start the first fire - the second number in brackets displays the actual need.<br>
