====== Brewery ======

Brew drinks by cooking ingredients in a heated cauldron. Depending on the recipe, finish the brew by distilling it, aging it in a barrel, or both. Accurate timing and the right barrel wood affect its quality.

===== Brewing =====

Fill a cauldron with water and place a heat source beneath it. Add the ingredients for your chosen recipe, then use a clock on the cauldron to check how long it has been cooking. Cooking time is measured in real minutes. The cauldron's particles can change color as a brew cooks.

When the cauldron reaches the recipe's cooking time, right-click it with glass bottles to collect the brew. Some drinks are finished at this stage; others need distilling or aging.

===== Distilling =====

For recipes that call for distilling, put the bottled brew in a Brewing Stand and add Glowstone Dust to the top slot as a reusable filter. Each run takes 40 seconds unless the recipe gives a different time. The dust is not consumed; follow the recipe's required number of runs. Some drinks need no distilling.

===== Aging in Barrels =====

Put a brew in a barrel when its recipe calls for aging. One Minecraft day counts as one aging year, and the wood type matters for some drinks. A regular Minecraft barrel counts as oak; use a Brewery barrel made from the required wood for other recipes.

A small Brewery barrel has nine slots. Make its barrel shape with eight wooden stairs, then place a sign on the lower-right side and write ''Barrel'' on its first line. The stairs' wood determines the barrel type. For a diagram, see [[https://github.com/DieReicheErethons/Brewery/wiki/Usage|the Brewery barrel guide]].

===== Drinking and Sobering Up =====

A brew's quality can change its name and effects. Drinking raises your drunkenness; at high levels, it can make you stumble and distort your chat. Bread reduces it by 4, and a Milk Bucket by 2. A status message appears after drinking a brew or using either item.

To prepare a brew for a shop, seal it at a Brew Sealing Table, crafted with two glass bottles and four planks. Sealed brews hide their details and cannot be aged or changed afterward. See [[player_shops|Player Shops]] for information about selling items.
