All of this is still under research, take with a grain of salt and help validate results
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 ingreidents.
Knowns
- 24 sample tubes made at Glazier's bench, tube appears to be consumed upon use
- Can obtain sample from failed beer
- Can "resample", you can get a new sample from a brew where the microbe was introduced via sample, which should allow perpetuating/farming (do need to confirm the presence of the microbe when a "sample sample" is used)
- Cannot obtain sample from yeast test
- 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
Unknowns
- Range of microbes per sample or how to affect it (observed 3 and 10 so far)
- Ways to gain XP at level 1 (isolating microbes no longer seems to work)
- Can you obtain sample from successful beer?
- If you take a sample when a sample microbe was used, do you still get it?
- If you take a sample when the microbe is not "abundant", is it still in the sample?
The benefits table below is for automation, not science, but I don't know how to change that
