Bugs N' Barrels

When the bugs in the bottom of a barrel of mash consume all of the sugar and puke out all of that alcohol, their civilization dies; not because they consumed too much sugar or puked up too much alcohol, but because they multiplied far beyond the ability of the barrel to sustain them. Finding another barrel doesn't solve anything.
