Ale

"Made from Wheat, Ale has been a staple drink throughout the ages. Surprisingly nutritious, ale is often drunk instead of water in more primitive societies and has a lower alcohol content than more 'festive' brews."

Ale is a new type of alcohol added by the Bottling and Booze expansion. It has the lowest addictiveness of all alcohols at 0.5%, but provides the lowest recreation at 12%. Because of these factors, alongside its ease of brewing, it is also the least expensive alcohol available.

Acquisition
Ale can be bought from Alcohol Traders or fermented in Ale Fermenting Barrels from Wheat Must for 6 days, which is created with Wheat Grains and any Hops at a Brewery (at a ratio of 15 Wheat+10 Hops:5 Wort) to produce 1 Ale per Wort.

Value
All values are given for a full batch (25) of Ale.

Crops per Barrel
Below are the minimum minimum numbers of Wheat and Hops plants that must be planted (under varying conditions) to assure enough of both are always present when ready to brew a new batch of Ale. * Wheat cannot be grown hydroponically.

Other
For other soil fertility values, this value can be calculated with the following equations:

Wheat: 75 / 21 / 8 / ((1 + (F-1)) / (32,500 / 60,000)) / 6

Hops: 50 / 8 / 5 / (1 + ((F-1) * .7)) / (32,500 / 60,000) / 6

General Formula: Amount per batch / (harvest yield / (growing time / (325/600) / (((fertility - 1) * fertility sensitivity) + 1))) / days per batch
