Resolve: Showdown (Save the saloon, part 2)

10am 17/03/2014 - 10am 23/03/2014

• Requires:
  • Green Sky 1/1
• Reward:
  • 1500 Experience points
  • St. Patrick's bow tie
• Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Henry Walker: Hello. I really need your help. Umm, how can I explain this... It is a very sensitive matter.

Listen: I have a special friend who is very sick. His name is Heisenzwerg. No tonic peddler in the prairie can cure his sickness. Not even the fantastic Nigel...

Anyway, he is a scientist. And to get money to secure his family financially after he is dead, he is brewing a very special beverage. They call it Green Sky in the prairie because of its color.

The Irish pilgrims are especially fond of it and pay high prices for a bottle.

I am waiting for a new delivery, but Heisenzwerg has not delivered it yet. Can you have a look at what is wrong? Maybe he is too sick to deliver.

He is located far out in the prairie in a hidden stagecoach, that is where he is cooking his Green Sky beverage. You should find him in the south.</spoiler>

• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Henry Walker: Ah finally, some of the green sky. Thank you very much. Now Heisenzwerg can provide for his family even after he... by the way: he told me he feels way better now. </spoiler>

Are you a true cook?

Accept: Green Sky (Brewing Bad)

Go to Heisenzwerg

  • Number of crafted items: 5/5
• Reward:
  • 80 Experience points

Heisenzwerg: Henry sent you? Yes, I am not able to cook anymore 'cause I am too sick. You will need to help me out - cough, cough.

You know what you've gotten yourself into here? Brewing without a distillery is not legal in the prairie. So if you are willing to take the risk and if you are capable then you are in.

But first show me if you are actually able to help me out with this.</spoiler>

• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Heisenzwerg: You have got some very nice crafting -cough- abilities. Let's get started then. </spoiler>

• Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Heisenzwerg: Lets cook. First, you need to get the basic substance: Hordeum Vulgare. We need that to make malt. You should -cough- know where to find this Horedum Vulgare if you work your grey matter a little. </spoiler>
• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Heisenzwerg: So you got the Hordeum Vulgare. Very good. What? I could have said it's just barley... I hope nobody saw you or we will soon have the DEA - the Drinks Enforcement Administration - on our heels. </spoiler>

Quest hint: Be sure to equip the item before you do the job. </spoiler>

• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Heisenzwerg: You -cough, cough- crushed the malt perfectly. Now the cooking can begin. I hope you have washed your hands. </spoiler>

  • Mash 1/1
• Reward:
  • 400 Experience points
• Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Heisenzwerg: Mashing allows the enzymes in the malt to break down the starch in the grain into sugars. Now we will have to cook the whole mixture to about 70 Celsius to get -cough- mash.

Unfortunately I coughed on my cooking pot so it is contaminated. You need to find another place to cook it. Somebody in the prairie must have a cooking pot for warm meals they can lend you...

Quest hint: Be sure to equip the item before you do the job. </spoiler>

• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Heisenzwerg: A friendly inhabitant of the prairie lent you his cooking pot in return for repairing his wagon. That is very nice. </spoiler>

Wort Cooking

• Prerequisites: Reached level 35

Resolve: Mash (Brewing Bad)

  • Sell "Knocked out tooth"
• Reward:
  • 80 Experience points
  • Wort
• Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Heisenzwerg: Very good job. For the next step we will have to add hop. The travelling merchant is not only a normal merchant. He -cough- established a secret hop trading business in his store. There is a code. If you go to his store and sell him something no usual person would sell - a tooth - he will give you some hop. </spoiler>
• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Heisenzwerg: So you made the -cough- travelling merchant give you some hop. I knew the old merchant knows how to make some extra money. Now I can make wort out of the mash by adding hop and heating everything up. </spoiler>

My whirlpool is contaminated. Think: can we find something in the prairie that is spinning round and round fast enough?

Quest hint: Be sure to equip the item before you do the job. </spoiler>

• Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Heisenzwerg: Well done. By swirling the wort, the centrifugal force has pushed the trub out of the wort. </spoiler>

Fermentation

  • Resolve: Bring Heisenzwerg something useful. (Brewing Bad)
• Reward:
  • 80 Experience points
• Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Heisenzwerg: We need to -cough- ferment the product now. Fermentation in brewing is the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts or bacteria under anaerobic conditions.

But for fermentation we need yeast. There is no yeast to be found in the whole prairie. I have no idea where to get it. Do you have an idea? If I could just remember how my mother used to mix sourdough when I was a kid...

Quest hint: You should show Heisenzerg the ingredients for sourdough in your inventory. </spoiler>
