Potion Kegs will require the following items to make. An empty barrel, a
barrel lid, a tap, and 10 empty
potions. [You may also want to read Lietgardis' Illustrated Guide to
Making Potion Kegs for more
information on their construction]
Empty barrels are created by carpenters [with around 57.8 skill] using:
3 barrel staves (made by carpenters, requires 5 pieces of wood each).
[may be attempted by carpenters of about 10 skill]
[each weigh 1 stone]
[fished up staves may also be used to make barrels, though they
do not maintain their
"From a shipwreck" label]
1 set of hoops (made by tinkers, requires 5 iron ingots).
[weight unknown]
1 lid (made by carpenters, requires 4 pieces of wood).
[may be attempted by carpenters of any skill]
[each weigh 2 stones]
5 logs. The 5 logs must be in your pack in order to get the option to
make barrels in the container
portion of the carpentry menu. These logs are not consumed, but they
must be present (this is
probably a bug) --This is fixed now(11/1/99).]
Tinkers [with around 51.4 skill] can then turn a regular barrel into a
potion barrel with the following
items: [to make potion kegs you must target an (empty?) barrel when
prompted to select the material
from which to craft]
1 empty barrel (made by carpenters as per the above method).
1 barrel tap (made by tinkers, requires 2 ingots).
1 barrel lid (made by carpenters, requires 4 pieces of wood). [this
is in addition to the 1 lid
needed by the carpenter to make the empty barrel]
[10 empty bottles]
Owning a Potion keg (see Firedog's explanation below for more detail)
Placing a potion in an empty potion keg will:
Make you the owner.
Owners can identify the type of potion keg without using
the Taste Id skill
Non-owners will need to use taste id to identify a potion
barrel.
Designate the type of potion the barrel can hold.
Placing a potion in a partially-filled potion keg will make you the
owner if the barrel is in
your inventory.
In order to place a potion in a [partially-filled] potion keg
you must be the owner,
or have identified the keg with the Taste Id skill.
The potion keg will only accept potions of the same [strength
and] type.
[home-owners, co-owners and friends are the only ones who can take
potions from a locked
down keg. anyone can put them in a locked down keg] WARNING: this is
currently not the
case. anyone can remove potions from a keg regardless of it's
lockedownyness.
Looking at a keg
When empty, single clicking on a potion keg will return the message
"a specially lined
keg for holding potions".
When filled, single clicking on a potion keg will return:
"A keg of (color) liquid" for non-owners and anyone else that
has not used
taste-id on the barrel.
"A keg of (potion type)" for the owner or those who have used
the Taste Id skill
on the keg (up to 5 at a time).
A filled keg will also return a message giving a general description
of how full it is.

Table
provided by Dermott]
[An identified keg of a potion with a two-word name is displayed as a
variant of "a nearly empty
keg of LesserHeal potions" (italics mine). See, there's no space
between the two words in the
potion's name.]
Filling the potion keg
Potion kegs can hold up to 100 potions of the same type. ["a lesser
cure potion" is not the
same type as "an orange potion" purchased from an NPC.]
Drag a potion onto the keg.
For an empty potion keg, any potion can be used.
For a partially filled keg.
You must be the owner, or have used the Taste Id skill on
the keg.
The type of potion in the bottle must be known. ["a green
potion" --purchased
from an NPC-- is "known"]
The type of potion in the bottle must be the same as the
type in the keg.
["You do not think it would be a good idea to mix these
types of potions together"
as I recall]
Weight of keg increases by 4 for every five potions added.
[Yes, you do recieve a bottle back --though not decessarily
the same bottle. The
bottle goes in your main pack.]
Potions can be crafted directly in the keg if there are no bottles in
the alchemist's
backpack.
After you begin to make a potion you will be given a targeting
cursor.
Clicking on the potion keg will add one potion.
The same rules apply to this method as for dragging a potion
onto the keg.
[At the 88th potion, the keg become UNMOVABLE from its current
location be in in a
backpack or on a table/floor/ground. You must lower the potion count
to 88 or less to move it
again.--This may be a bug. Of course, it could be a feature]
Retrieving items from keg:
Double click on the keg to retrieve a potion
If the keg is empty, you will receive the message "the keg is empty".
If the keg is partially filled or full.
The keg will fill one empty bottle in the user's backpack.
If the type of potion in the keg is known to the user, the
new potion will
already be identified.
If the type of the potion in the keg is unknown to the
user, the new potion
is identified by color only.
If no bottle in the user's backpack, the keg will ask for empty
bottles. [you can not
target another keg]
The weight of keg [is] reduced by 4 for every five potions
removed
