Kitchen Equipment

[Calico Witch]

Yeah, I'm curious about your kitchen and brewing equipment. I have:
3 ovens
2 food prep tables
1 preserves table
2 grinders
2 presses
2 cheeseries
3 cocktail tables
4 malting machines
4 brewing barrels
4 fermentation tanks
4 distilleries
7 storage chests

and in the cellar I have:
40 aging barrels and 3 cheese/pickles aging shelves.

I also extended the bedroom a couple spaces to the right and then extended the kitchen by the same amount and created a pass-through directly from the bedroom (just below the bed) to the kitchen. Much more convenient in the morning.

I don't really need the cheeseries right now so I may store them and get an 2nd preserves table.

I don't have the game open (wasting the company's money posting this), but I've got a crazy huge kitchen in my current tavern.

The highlight is the 10 cocktail tables, 5 each malting machines, brewing barrels, and fermentation tanks, 10 distilleries, 10 presses, 50 aging barrels and 2 aging shelves, couple of cheeseries and prep and preserves tables, and 3 or 4 (can't remember which) ovens.

If I want or need to make a lot of something in a hurry, I can. I've also got eight storage chests last I counted.

I also have a couple of massive farm plots outside; my total seed capacity is over 500 plots total, and they get used when I run low on an ingredient and replenish it as soon as it comes into season with a giant grow.

Capacity is effectively free for most resources—digging farm plots or crafting the machines the game allows you to craft costs no more than time and chopping a few trees or mining a few nodes. And it's minimally expensive in the grand scheme for stuff you actually do have to buy from the vendor in order to install.

My current kitchen is tiny....

I have 2 stoves, 1 each of the other food preps including the pickle table, which I love... I have 3 each of all the brewing stuff, 1 Still, 2 juicers and a grinder.

And a lot of chests.

I have 50 and 3 in the basement also, it's a good enough size to brew whatever I need to.

In the past I was similar to SimuLord. I had 5 and 10 and 17 of anything and everything. I am a firm believer in parallel processes, and this game can give you that in spades.

There is not much in game that can save you time like being able to cook a weeks food in 2 rounds. Or fill that 50 barrel cellar in a day. LOL....

I prefer a little challenge and a little work now.... ?B)

Cheers...!

(...if I can remember how to do the pics and I remember to take one...)

My garden plots are 'mostly' minimal (20 to 50 plots of 3 or 4 different items) because I have a pretty good stockpile of most ingredients. Still have to plant garlic and onions quite often though. Most of the things I can get from the annoying twins.

I have:
5 ovens
3 food prep tables
1 preserves table
4 grinders
3 presses (I am thinking about adding 3 more)
2 cheeseries
1 cocktail tables (I am planning to add a second)
3 malting machines
4 brewing barrels
8 fermentation tanks (this is too many, I need to put 2 or 4 into storage)
2 distilleries
12 storage chests
* Drinks that are not currently for sale in the tavern, including juices I don't use often
* Stuff for making wine and spirits, including juices I use a lot
* Stuff for making beer, plus rice and rice products
* Grains (except rice which didn't fit) and grain products
* Fruits and berries
* Vegetables
* Meats
* Seafood and fish
* Nuts, legumes, and mushrooms
* Spices and misc
* Dairy
* Empty (future expansion - 11 chests looked odd)

40 aging barrels and 4 cheese/pickles aging shelves in the cellar

Drinks to restock the taps and kegs in the tavern are in a chest in the tavern

I seem to almost always be struggling for money (since all the building/modifying of buildings things that I want to do, are HELLA EXPENSIVE) but I recently finally got around to expanding my kitchen out a bit from its original size. I now have:

Two ovens
Two food prep tables
Two malting machines
Two fermentation tanks
Two brewing kegs
Three juicers

I plan to buy another juicer for a total of four, and get another cocktail table (making flavored beer takes kinda forever) and another grinder (spices and flour are very useful). Not sure if I'm gonna buy another distillery. So far I don't make brandy all that often.

My kitchen isn't very fancy, but it IS going way faster and more efficiently, now that I at least can prepare and/or cook two things at once. :)

Along my right side wall I have the 3 cocktail tables. Along the back wall I have one space between the back cocktail table and the 3 ovens. Then I have the 2 food prep tables. Below that is a walkway then the 2 grinders and next to them are the 2 presses. Directly below those are the is all the brewing equipment with a walkway through the middle. In the space just to the left of the cocktail tables and below the ovens are 6 chests in the open space. And below that is (now) another 2 preserves tables along the bottom wall between the kitchen and the cellar wall (I put the cheeseries in storage). All the brewing stuff in to the left and slightly below the 'main' kitchen area. There's also a chest in the first space in the 'pass-through' to the bedroom (I created a crafting space there) for overflow storage, and also another chest in the bedroom for things that I DON'T want to be used in recipes. It's efficient and it looks nice.
