CivRealm:Brewery

Brewery is a plugin that lets players make booze, liquor and wine, providing an entertaining side-mechanic for the players to interact with. It doesn't impact the PvP "Meta", but makes the players think, experiment, and explore the possibilities of each and every drink. As of right now, the Brewery plugin is only available on the main shard due to technical issues.

Background
The Brewery plugin was developed outside the Civ community, but has been available on many Civ servers for years, and isn't all that new to some old Civ players. The original wiki of the plugin can be found here. The plugin is fairly simple to use and fun for players to experiment with and make different kinds of booze, all with the ability to make their characters drunk, mess with the chat when typed to look like gibberish, make them stumble, and even vomit up soul sand, all fun things to do when your absolutely bored and want a good laugh.

Mechanics
The main mechanics are simple: Find the right amount of ingredients, cook them within a Cauldron for the right time, and either do nothing, distill it in a brewing stand, or let it age in a barrel. Each drink will have a name depending on what you made, obviously. To check the time when boiling, you use a clock and right click, and it will inform you of the time it's boiled. There are many other factors that you learn within the mod, many of which you can learn over at the wiki mentioned above, or can be explained within the Brewers Guild.

CivRealms Changes
CivRealms has changed the making of quite a few things about the plugin to make it unique to CivRealms. The biggest change is the recipes: They are no longer the original. All the recipes for the plugin have been erased and re-made, none of them are to the player's knowledge. Every drink must be discovered, tested and perfected. There has been a bit of work done thanks to the Brewer's Guild, finding a large amount of drinks thanks to testing from both students and faculty. But, there is still a large amount left to be discovered.

Another unique item that's been added is "Neutral Spirits." Neutral Spirits are an item created from Smooth Vodka placed into a crafting table. This item has yet to be tested and has yet to yield any drinks, but it's our biggest league to a completely undiscovered branch of drinks. But, it is guessed that this is an ingredient to change original drinks that have been discovered into something else.
