Set Up

Welcome to the CivClassics Brewery Guide! Before you start brewing, you will need some supplies to set up your brewing location. You will need:

  • Wood for barrels. You will need wood stairs for small barrels and wood stairs/planks/fences for large barrels.
    • For large brewing locations, you should make 6 barrels using each of the 6 types of wood. (Acacia, Spruce, Dark Oak, Oak, Jungle & Birch)
  • Cauldrons for fermenting.
  • A source of fire. Since fire spread is turned off, you can light any block on fire indefinitely with flint & steel. Lava will also work.
  • A source of water. You will want to make an infinity pool nearby.
  • Brewing stands for distilling. These do not require blaze powder when distilling.
  • Glass bottles for collecting your completed brew.
  • A clock to keep track of how long a brew has been fermenting.
  • Lots of different ingredients. A detailed list will be included in this guide for the items that are accepted into the cauldron.
  • Chests to store your brews in and to keep your ingredients safe.

The Basics

Fermenting

Let's start by setting up a cauldron to ferment brews in.

  1. Place the cauldron in a convenient spot and make sure the block underneath it is empty.
  2. Place your source of fire underneath the cauldron. Remember, this can either be lava or a flame lit with flint & steel.
  3. Place water from a water bucket into your cauldron. That's it! You're all done with setting up your fermentation cauldron.

In order to ferment ingredients into a brew, right click the cauldron with the ingredient in your hand. It is EXTREMELY important that you remove the item in your offhand because the Brewery Plugin will try to add both the item in your main hand and your off hand into the cauldron. Now that you have an ingredient or multiple ingredients in the cauldron, right click that cauldron with a clock. You will be able to track how long the brew has been fermenting. After you are satisfied with the duration of fermentation, use a bottle to remove the brew from your cauldron!

Distilling

Let's start by setting up a distillery brewing stand.

  1. Place the brewing stand in your desired location and place exactly one glowstone dust in the top of the brewing stand. Distilling will not use up that one piece of glowstone dust, however, placing more than one glowstone dust will needlessly cause the glowstone to be used up until one is left. Additionally, blaze powder is not needed to distill drinks.
  2. Place your fermented brews into the brewing stand. After waiting for a short while, you will see the drink gain lore for the amount of times it was distilled. MOST of the time if you made an indefinable distillate, that means the recipe you used wasn't accurate or that the drink didn't need to be distilled.
