I have a problem. A big problem.

No booze.

I have three carpentry workshops working round the clock to create enough barrels but the farming team steal them to store food in before the brewers can get to them.

Any ways I can let the brewers have a shot at them before they get put ont he food stockpile?

I always disallow prepared meals in my main food stockpile, and make a new one for prepared meals only that has a max barrels limit of 0. Prepared meals are always stacked so it won't take up too much space this way, and your barrels will be saved for plants, booze, and whatever other raw food items you have (meat, sugar, syrup)

Thanks! 

Altering the barrel limit did the trick - thanks alot

Also, set Reserved Barrels in the stockpiles menu (where you pick what kind of stockpile you want).

They're reserved for tasks which specifically call for them (such as Brew Drink) as opposed to tasks that like to use them, but don't have to (like Haul Food to Stockpile).

This way you don't have to micro-manage every single food stockpile.
