Usage[1]
Recipes will specify the steps required in order to brew. These steps may include fermenting, distilling, and aging the drink. Refer to your recipe booklet to determine whether these steps are necessary, and to determine the appropriate duration of these steps.
Fermenting
In order to create a brew, one must first ferment the ingredients in a cauldron:
- Place a cauldron over a heat source (Fire/Lava/Magma),
- Fill the cauldron with water,
- Place ingredients in the cauldron by right clicking, until all ingredients have been added,
- Right click the cauldron with a clock to measure brew time,
- Upon brew time expiry, fill glass bottles with the cauldron to obtain your drink.
Distilling
A brew may require distilling. It's important to note the distilling parameters!
- Place bottles containing ferment into a brewing stand,
- Place glowstone dust as a filter on top into the brewing stand,
- Wait the time specified by the recipe
Aging
Aging drinks requires one to place drinks into a barrel and wait for them to age! The age requirements are specified in terms of in game Minecraft days. In order to age a drink, you must first construct a barrel, which can be done by placing a sign with "barrel" on line onto an appropriately constructed barrel.
Some drinks may specify a type of barrel, which you may need to construct from different types of wood!
Reagents
The reagents are brews you make before the brews, and are defined individually as their own recipes. In order to add them as an ingredient to a brew, they must be prefaced with the Brewery tag. (ex: Brewery:Levain/1 ) Reagents include:
- Neutral spirit - A straight alcohol used to make the hard cocktails gin etc.
- Levain - A starter, like a sour dough starter if you will that is straight alcohol and starts the beer creation
- Carbonated Water - The base for sodas
- Ice Cream - The base for Ice Creams
These basically level up our brewery and makes them more close to the actual process of creating the stuff. We'll sell these at a spawn shop to get people started as reagents. (So they're under recipes because they actually are like step 1 recipe)
