Adventurers in Alderion can take part in the ancient art of brewing, thanks to the mysterious wizard Grafe. Brewing has several parts, all which take time to be mastered.
Fermenting[]
Fermenting is usually the first step in brewing. Getting the time right for fermenting is one of the steps that a brewer must learn during his apprenticeship.
Fermenting can be done by placing a cauldron on top of a flame. The flame must continually burn, or the fermenting time will restart.
Ingredients can be added by right clicking on a full cauldron. As well, right clicking on a cauldron with a clock will tell you how long you have been fermenting. Right click with empty glass bottles to gather your fermented products.
Distilling[]
Possibly the next step would be to distill your brew. This can be done by placing your fermented product in a brewing stand with glowstone powder as a filter. This process will not remove the glowstone.
Brews can be distilled up to 6 times, but it will only affect the quality of the final drink, not the strength.
Aging[]
Aging is probably the most important part of any brewers process. It allows your brew to develop from a base, non-alcoholic drink into a hearty drink to share around the hearth.
Aging is done by first creating barrels. There are two sizes of barrels.

8 wooden stairs built like this:
Place a sign on the lower right side and write "Barrel" in the upper Line:
If done correctly, a message saying "Barrel created" should appear. Open by right clicking on sign. |
Big Barrel |

4 Fences, 16 Wooden stairs, 18 wood planks built like this (hollow inside):
Attach a Spigot (Fence) and a Sign that has "Barrel" written on the first Line:
Message "Barrel created" should appear You may remove the Sign from the Big Barrel after creating it. Open with right click on fence post. |
Put the bottles into the barrels for aging. Depending on the recipe, the type of wood used may alter the quality of the brew.
