The Beer Volcano

Post by Andreas the Wise »

In the city centre; towering 30m high with a radius of 20m lies

THE BEER VOLCANO

The Dikes & Faccoliths we fill with the basic ingredients (hops, yeast, etc). So they are brewed under pressure, in the magma chamber, then stored in the mantle. So when we want eruptions; we make a brew in the magma chamber, then make it over ferment. Pump that into the bottom and let it explode, forcing the beer out of the volcano. We then use a safety plate mechanism to ensure the badly brewed beverages that acts as propulsion does not escape and ruin the beer, keeping it in the magma chamber. We then empty the magma chamber into the mantle and pump it away.

In a volcano 30m high with a diameter of 40m; we would have 33510.3L/Eruption. Less around 100L 'cause it's overfermented...

33410.3L... And weekly eruptions (to give the beer time to ferment properly, and freshness isn't a problem 'cause it's brand new).

We don't add any preservatives to the beer, and anyone can come up the the volcano every Friday at lets say 7pm to capture beer. The beer will only be good for around 3 months but you wont get hung over from it at all.

We're going to need a system of pumps to get the overfermented beer to the bottom of the volcano, but that should be simple.

To make 1 L of beer you need about [a teaspoon of yeast, a cup of sugar, 1L water, a pinch of hops] so multiply that by 33510.3 and that's the necessary ingredients. The water can be pure glacial spring water from the frozen land that is myzoria. All other ingredients can be sourced from more fertile land, the kendrall isles would be happy to exchange some beer for ingredients...


Notes: This concludes my economical, environmental, scientific & mathematics based proposal regarding the construction, placement & operation of a beer volcano.
