Fermenting barrel ruined by temeprature.

[Awzjv]

I got few fermenting barrels which say that they are ruined by temeperature, its 20C. I have one heater in the room. Heater was set up to 21C but now I set it up to 11C and nothing changed.

Was there an event that disabled the heater? Solar flare, cold snap, heat wave, zzzt? Can you post a screenshot of the room?

Ok I sorted it out. Seems that Fermenting barrel shows this text when its not filled with wort.

? I don't recall ever seeing that text on barrels that were empty.

Fermenting Barrels require a bit of temperature micromanagement and you need to check on them from time to time. It's very easy for them to get outside of their operating ranges during some Events. They won't spoil immediately, though.

cold doesn't spoil fermenting, it just stops progress till the temperature improves.

Too much Heat spoils it instantly.

It's always better to have your fermenting celler closer to bottom end of the temperature threshold since there's no penalty besides time if it drops too low.

Sorry, I don't think this is correct, even though the Wiki says the same thing, only last night I had a brew ruined while they were in my unheated storeroom. This was on a very cold map, temp has never risen above 15 degrees on this map.

Edit: Actually, I had a brief fire in that storeroom, the result of a zzzt event. Maybe the temp did spike briefly.

heh. Firepoppers is your aid. But a room with those barrels should be kept fireproof. read it as "should not have any flammable things around".
