What a great set up.

However, why all this trouble for.. beer?

I found some hops. They are in the cupboard. There isn`t really any other use for them is it.

Wine produces 3 grapes per tile. If my memory serves me right, each grape produces 0.2L of juice. 100L of wine is therefore ~167 tiles worth of harvesting to make.

Beer however takes 50 tiles of wheat and 20 tiles of hops to produce 100L (70/167 = 41.9%). So we're talking roughly 42% as much work for the same output in volume. The other crafting actions probably take up about as much time as wine pressing does

Issue being you need an efficient factory setup to achieve this. Since it's only for beer, you don't need to harvest or use it if you don't need beer at the moment. A seperate quality garden can be maintained for growing q wheat/hops.

Additional plus is that both beer and wine give a unique variety bonus towards fep bars. So it's good to have for parties. Which reminds me:

Wine takes more space but it's less work because you just dump your grapes in the press, then take the best N seeds and replant. Beer has like 50 steps that require various quality controls.

3 processing steps, but no active time spent doing a press action. And I've never bothered with quality control other than a quick replant of bestish seeds since beer q doesn't matter a whole lot.

Agreed those are arguments against it, but I still feel an efficient setup for beer is less work than wine once you get used to the rhythm.
