What could I do with all that? I already have a flint and steel and a bunch of rags, moltov anyone? But what else could I do with that?

#3 chaosturtle Feb 26, 2009 21:19:37	Just because you can carry a certain amount doesn't mean you'll have room for it :D
#4 Krusk Feb 26, 2009 21:59:33	11 gallons of ale huh. Seems like the perfect time to start training to be a drunken master to me.

Well, drop a match in a beer bottle and see how flamable it is - Ale ain't that much stronger. For a good Molotov, you'll need some hard liquor. ;) I'd trade the ale for Dwarven Moonshine!
#7 MrCustomer Feb 26, 2009 23:55:23	ya for a molotov you will need more then ale or beer. Even most hard liqur is only 40% and although it is flamable isn't dangerous enough to be that much of a threat, after all how many people do you see lighting a cigarette in a bar and going up in flames. Ideally you need at least 150 proof liquor, which is 80% alcohol to make an effective molotov. The benifit of course is that 150 proof was what rums and other hard liquors were shipped in their casks and which would be later cut with water before serving 3 parts water to 1 part booze. For shipping and traveling purposes it makes sense to use overproof because it's carrying the same amount of booze in a quarter of the space/weight. Ale is 4% to 10%, so you could carry nearly 100 times the booze with the same weight in overproof But something else you need to take into consideration is volume. 100 pounds is a light load, yes but what about carrying 100 pounds of cheeze puffs? you would be carrying what? 150 cubic feet of cheeze puffs? That's a hella big backpack. That might seem a rediculous example, but I use the extreme to illustrate a point, you need to think compact and voilume as well as weight here. 11 gallons takes up considerable space, and would be alot of bulk to be carrying around.

#9 prator_the_golden Mar 02, 2009 9:27:31	Eleven gallons of ale... I think that's enough to get 11 humans OR 22 elves OR 6 orcs OR 1 dwarf lightly sauced. For the dwarf, I'd recommend an extra gallon, just to make sure. Eleven gallons also should be about enough to partly fill a bathtub. Go swim in ale! Boil the ale, and then dump it on someone you don't like. Pour all the ale into one barrel. Drown someone in the barrel, and then leave them in there to pickle.
#10 The-Mage-King Mar 04, 2009 10:35:32	...This isn't a thread for people to post the brilliant ideas that use 11 gallons of ale, is it?
