Brewing

Brewing
Brewing is an activity accomplished through fermenting, distilling and barrel aging different assortments and combinations of materials into alcohol. Over the eras of Templehelm's history, societies from all over have developed and refined a variety of different forms of alcohol for consumption, celebration, and commerce.

Requirements
The requirements for producing different types of alcohol will vary based on the recipe. Some types will require additional processes than others.

Fermenting
Fermenting is the first step required for all forms of brewing.

To start fermenting, place a cauldron over a fire or other heat source. Fill the cauldron with water then right click on the cauldron with any combination of ingredients. Allow the ingredients to ferment over a period of time. You can check how long the mixture has been fermenting by right clicking on the cauldron with a clock (fermentation times will vary per recipe).

Once the mixture is done fermenting, you can collect it using glass bottles like you would with a normal cauldron for water.

Distilling
Distilling is an additional requirement for some recipes.

To distill your fermented mixture, place the filled bottles into the brewing stand. Place a piece of glowstone dust in the top slot where you would normally put ingredients for alchemy. This will act as a filter for distilling the mixtures and will not be consumed once completed.

Aging
Aging is another additional requirement for some recipes.

To perform aging, a barrel must be constructed to store bottles. These barrels come in two sizes:

Small Barrel
Small barrels can hold up to 9 bottles of alcohol. To construct a small barrel, use 8 wooden stairs to build a barrel shape. Place a sign on the lower right side and write "Barrel" in the upper line.



Large Barrel
Large barrels can hold up to 27 bottles of alcohol. To construct a small barrel, use 5 fences, 16 wooden stairs, and 18 wood planks to build a barrel shape. Attach a spigot (fence) and a sign that has "Barrel" written on it. The sign can be removed once the phrase "Barrel Created" appears in chat.



Recipes
These are a handful of recipes one might come across through casual conversation with denizens of Templehelm. Unfortunately, many of them are incomplete and will need to be completed through experimentation.

Note: Although the ingredients used in each recipe are listed, the quantities are not. You will need to determine those through experimentation as well.
