Brewing

Brewing is the method to produce various drinks, mostly alcoholic, in barrels. You will need a placed barrel, 3 buckets of water and 6 other ingredients, depending on the drink you want to brew. The recipes are shown below.

Brewing is done in steps of ten minutes per step, so it will take a really long time. Each step will increase the potency of the drink (In case of alcoholic drinks the alcohol percentage) which will increase the effects (saturation, nausea, special effects from the magical drinks). The potency achieved, when the actual step is completed, will be shown when you hold the cursor over the product field. Themaximum potency level 'Potent' is reached after 50 min.

As soon as your desired potency is reached, you can press "Stop brewing". Then, you can take the drink out by right-clicking the front of the barrel with an empty mug. The barrel will hold 16 mugs until it is depleted.

Tips for brewing
When brewing magical drings, it is the best, to brew maximum potency, as they contain no or very few alcohol and have no negative effect (exept for orc draught, which will cause damage). Else and if you brew drinks for the saturation effect, you should be careful not to brew to strong drinks. Drinks will usually heal around one hunger point (a half "food piece") per potency level.

Another thing, you should consider when brewing is, that the brewing process will only make progress if the chunk of the barrel is loaded. So travelling far from home will hold the brewing process.
