All technological items can be made by your character as long as some points are put into the correct categories. For explosives open you character screen ('c' on your keyboard) view the upper right side of the screen and you'll see three buttons. The center button drops down the technology panel. Click on the right most mini button which will expose the explosive panel. You will see several explosives including grenades. You must have the appropriate base skill, Intellegence. But the game will tell you if your In is too low to add a tech capabilitiy at this time.

When you purchase a discipline, unlike magic you can't just use it you have to make the item. Explosives require ingredients you can find in rubbish bins, make with other disciplines and purchase from certain shopkeepers.
Molotov's require fuel and rags. Unfortunately you cannot make your own rags from clothing and such, you have to find it. It spawns quite frequently though in almost all rubbish bins in Tarant and other towns.
Fuel can be bought from junk dealers, tech dealers and herb shops. Some days the shop won't sell it, some days they do. You can also learn to make fuel with a schematic purchased from herb dealers.
When you have both ingredients in your inventory, hit the schematics button on the bottom control panel (bottom right of screen) grouped near the spell and skill buttons. This opens up a schematic window which lists learned and found schematics. Pick explosives and you should see the molotov build window. If you meet all the requirements the build button will highlight green on this window... hit it to make molotovs.
Now that you have a grenade of sorts there's the matter of using them. They're not weapons but quick slot items that require the throwing skill. So make sure you put points into throwing so you can use them. Drag one of the molotovs to the quick item bar at the bottom of your screen, then when you want to use a molotov click the icon for it and then your target... provided you pass an throwing skill check it'll hit your target, and if you pass an explosives skill check it'll blow up (now and then might throw a dud that you can pick up and use again).
