9.3.5 Brewing
The skill of brewing is one that transforms ordinary ingredients into
drinks of flavoursome variety; from the warm cup of kawhe during the
winter nights, to the sweet wine of weddings and to mass produced rum
for the rowdy soldiers.
If you wish to learn the trade of brewing, you must be trained by a
crafting guild of any city. Once you are at the crafting office, you
will need to BUY BREWING PERMIT, which will cost 100 credits. Once you
have this permit, it will not expire, and you will be free to brew your
own concoctions. Initially, your skill in brewing will be rather
limited, but the more you train in this skill, the more ingredients you
are able to add to your formula and the amount of sips that you will be
able to make is also increased.
To create a brew, you must first request a blank brewing formula from
any of the crafting guild offices with DESIGN BREW REQUEST. You will
then be able to add any ingredients to the formula and customize the way
the brew will taste.
1) Request a blank brewing formula from a craft guild office.
2) Collect the ingredients you wish to mix, and add them into the
formula with DESIGN <formula> ADD # <ingredient>.
3) You can then customize the way your brew will be experienced by
others:
DESIGN <#> APPEARANCE <description>
DESIGN <#> SHORT <description>
DESIGN <#> SMELL <description>
DESIGN <#> FLAVOR <description>
DESIGN <#> AFTERTASTE <description>
DESIGN <#> EXAMINED <description>
DESIGN <#> TASTE <description>
DESIGN <#> ALCOHOL <level>
DESIGN <#> ADD <quantity> <component>
DESIGN <#> CLEARCOMPONENTS
4) Once your formula is completed, you must then take your formula to a
craft guild office and DESIGN <formula> SUBMIT it for evaluation. When
it has been approved, you will then receive a letter from the craft
guild, and must then pay the appropriate fees.
5) When your formula has been approved and paid for, you may start
brewing it immediately! First, obtain a cooking pot, and with that you
will be able to begin brewing. Collect those ingredients that you need,
and then BREW <amount> <design> [IN <pot>]!
6) When the pot has been mixed, you will need to find a still, and then
use EMPTY POT INTO STILL or POUR POT INTO STILL. Following this, you
will need to FIRE STILL, upon which the mixture will begin brewing. When
the brew is complete, transfer the brew from the still back to your pot
with FILL POT FROM STILL, and you may then begin to spread the contents
of your pot to other vials, bottles, and such. Note: A still is only
required for designs that include alcohol.
