Beer Brewing Science is mainly concerned with the study and application of microbes that affect the beer brewing process. At level 1, you are able to collect microbe samples with a Sample Tube (24 made in 90 sec. with one Normal Glass at Glazier's Bench. You can then schedule those samples to be added to a beer as with other ingredients.
Levels
Level 0 is gained by brewing any drinkable beer.
- Check whether examining the brew is sufficient.
Level | XP Needed to advance | Unlocks |
---|---|---|
0 | 20 | Can learn Beer Brewing Automation |
1 | 10 | Can collect microbe samples. |
2 | 20 | Can identify microbe samples at a Chemistry Laboratory. Lab must be upgraded for advanced reactions. |
Actions
Action | Level 0 XP Value | Lvl 1 XP | Lvl 2 XP |
---|---|---|---|
Isolate new non-abundant microbe | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Brew drinkable beer from new isolated yeast | 1 | 1 | 1 |
- Isolating any given microbe with normal abundance for the first time gives 1 xp.
- The xp is given upon examining the yeast test or beer results.
- Isolating a microbe with high abundance (* symbol) or introduce from a sample (+ symbol) does not give xp.
- Isolating a microbe that you have previously isolated gives no xp.
- A beer does not need to be drinkable to gain this xp.
- The first time brewing a drinkable beer with each isolated yeast gives 1 xp.
- The xp is given upon examining the beer.
- You can gain both +1 for first isolating a yeast and +1 for brewing drinkable beer with it at the same time.
- Brewing beer with additional microbes (but the same leading yeast) did not give xp.
- Does the yeast need to be isolated, or is it enough that the leading yeast was not previously used?
Knowns
- 24 sample tubes made at Glazier's bench, tube appears to be consumed upon use
- Can obtain sample from failed beer
- Can obtain sample from successful beer, but you choose between the beer and the sample after viewing the report
- Can "resample", you can get a new sample from a brew where the microbe was introduced via sample, which should allow perpetuating/farming
- Cannot obtain sample from yeast test
- Microbe probably does not have to be abundant, few random grabs so far suggest abundant might just result in more microbes (i.e. good spot for farming)
- Samples taken from open kettle beers produced up to 13 samples from a tube, with a different group of 8-10 microbes in each sample.
- Sampling a beer made solely with introduced microbes produces a sample of the same microbes again.
- The name on the sample is determined by the avatar who examined the brew, not who brewed it, sealed it, or collected the sample.
- You can schedule a microbe sample to be added like an ingredient before you begin brewing
- It appears to be for timing in the fermentation phase, however, as you can select 0-2400 seconds
- It appears if you seal the kettle before the scheduled microbe, the microbe is still introduced
- WARNING (8/12/2023) The timer/prompt appears to be backwards, it asks for how many seconds remaining you want to add it, but then actually subtracts that from 2400
- There does not appear to be a button to add a microbe manually during fermentation phase, automation may be the only method
- Sample Tube are NOT returned when you use the last one
- Microbe seems to function the same as it would naturally, I ran a recipe and it made the beer BeerCalc said it would
Unknowns
- Range of microbes per sample or how to affect it (observed 1,3,10,13 so far)
- Anecdotal evidence from Phoenixcwu and Nyasara suggest that high vitamin/high sugar results produce more samples (I got 13 with a cloying, vitamin-laden beer)
- What, if any effect, does scheduled time and seal time have? I brewed the same beer twice, but with completely opposite "add the microbe" time schedules and got the _exact_ same beer
- My (Nyasara) first sample was numbered #591. I am pretty sure I had not run that many kettles yet, where is that number coming from?
- I have also seen numbers skip, perhaps the number is global
- Each avatar appears to start with a random number, and numbers proceed sequentially from there. E.g. Tamutnefret#543 was followed by Tamutnefret#544 to #554, then Pameow#11 (for a beer examined by Pameow but sample collected by Tamutnefret), then Tamutnefret#555 to #567.
- Later sessions skipped from Tamutnefret#567 to Tamutnefret#600, so there may well be a global counter as well, or it may count yeast tests and beers that were not sampled.
