Juice is the Keg's drink for vegetables. Pouring a vegetable or an edible forage item into a Keg gives a bottle of Juice about four days later. The bottle takes the name and colour of its ingredient, so Pumpkin Juice and Parsnip Juice look and sell very differently. Juice multiplies the base value of the vegetable, which makes it strongest for the priciest crops. For most vegetables, though, a Preserves Jar earns more. Pam's special order and the Raccoon at the Giant Stump both ask for it.

Making

---

The Keg comes with Farming level 8. Almost any vegetable can go in, but three behave differently: Wheat brews Beer, Hops brew Pale Ale and Tea Leaves brew Green Tea. Mushrooms go elsewhere too.

Several edible forage items make Juice as well. Cave Carrots, Dandelions, Ginger, Hazelnuts, Leeks, Spring Onions, Snow Yams, Wild Horseradish and Winter Root all work. Each one turns into its own flavour of Juice.

The bottle always comes out at normal quality. The stars on the vegetable make no difference, so plain produce suits the Keg best. Juice also stays at normal quality afterwards, because the Cask ages only wine, beer, ale, mead and cheese.

Drinking Juice restores twice the energy and health of the plain vegetable.

Prices

---

A bottle of Juice is worth two and a quarter times the base price of its vegetable. The Artisan profession raises that to a little over three times.

The main rival is the Preserves Jar. Pickles pay twice the vegetable's value plus a flat 50g. Juice only pulls ahead for vegetables worth more than 200g, such as Pumpkins. For everything cheaper, Pickles pay more per vegetable. Pickles also finish in two to three days instead of four, so they win on time as well.

Quality makes the gap worse. Gold and iridium vegetables already sell for far more than their base price, and the Keg ignores that bonus. Selling top-quality vegetables raw and juicing the normal ones keeps every bottle in profit.

Pumpkin Juice is the most valuable kind from an ordinary crop. Low-value forage such as Spring Onions makes only a cheap bottle.

Uses

---

Pam posts "The Strong Stuff" on the Special Orders board and asks for 12 Potato Juice. A field of Potatoes and a few Kegs cover it.

The Raccoon at the Giant Stump asks for one Juice in his fourth request, together with Pickles. Later requests, from the sixth on, may ask for another bottle.

The remixed Community Center lists Juice as one of the options in the Brewer's Bundle in the Pantry.

At the Sewing Machine, Juice in the spool makes the dyeable Sports Shirt. Juice is also a green dye in the dye pots at 2 Willow Lane.

Most villagers like Juice, including Clint, Evelyn, George, Penny and the Wizard. Juice is a hated gift for Jas, Sebastian and Vincent.
