What Happened To My Kegs?
So some of you may be asking, "what happened to brewing? Why can't I place my flowers directly into the keg? Is this a bug?"
Brewing got a nerf in this latest content release. James, the developer has been talking about how kegs are too cheap for their value. When the game first came out, kegs were very cheap to make yet produced a highly powerful consumable that also sold for a lot of dink. So the kegs got nerfed with the higher costs we see today. In the Spring content release, we saw another nerf in that you have to process your flowers via a pot over a campfire, aka the billy can kit.
So How Do I Brew Now?
You'll first need to get the brewing license from Fletch at the Town Hall. That will unlock the Billy Can Kit in the process. The Billy Can is easy to craft as it's a campfire and two tin bars. The logistical supply train now is harvest flowers, put ten into the billy can, wait a while (but less than a day, more on this later) and out pops bottle or wattle tea. You then take that tea and put it into the keg and then wait two days to get brew.
How Many Billy Cans Do I Need For Efficient Processing?
As billy cans can process bottle and wattle flowers much faster than into tea than a keg could process flowers into brew, you do not need one billy can per keg. You should be able to get 2-3 teas per day out of one billy can.
So you're thinking, maybe 1:2 or even a 1:3 ratio of kegs to billy cans. However, billy cans also can make jams from fruit and make coffee. Also, if you're not the best with time management, or spend many hours of your Dinkum day away from town, you may not have the time to load the billy cans with flowers to ensure you have enough teas to make brews. In that case, a 1:1 ratio might be better as it will eliminate the chance of you not having teas when your kegs finish their last production run.
Brewing Protips
Billy Cans look the same from front and back, so you can orient them in two rows to all output in the same direction, allowing you to collect all by running down just one side without sacrificing looks.
Top loading is generally faster and you can run on top without lighting yourself on fire like the normal camp fire. I place one stairs at the front for ease and no jumping necessary for both kegs and billy cans.
The tea is consumable which is a problem for fast loading of kegs as fast clicking sometimes causes you to consume the food you're trying to load into equipment. However, if you eat three things before, like three bush lime, you physically cannot consume anything else. Thus letting you spam your mouse to fast load the kegs without risking drinking a tea.
