Brewery

Pirates need their grog! Here on PirateCraft you can craft any of our 222 custom Brews & potions by fermenting, distilling and barrel aging!

All custom Brews start by putting ingredients in a cauldron over a fire (Fermenting), the majority of brews are created with this way, others are more complex requiring distilling (Brewing stand) and barrel aging (Block built barrel).

You can follow an in-game tutorial by visiting /warp brewing as well as using /brewing for step by step guides.

Visiting the brewing warp teaches how to build a fermenter and brewing barrels, as well as seeing all Brews, Brew hints, Full /recipes and get the materials for a tutorial brew from the Alchemist at /warp brewing.

How to build brewing apparatus & make your first brew!

Step 1. Build a fermenter

Step one consists of fermenting ingredients in a caldron over a fire.

1. Place Cauldron over a Camp fire, Fire/Netherrack or Magma block as heat source
2. Add water!
3. Right click Ingredients into cauldron
4. Wait while they ingredients Ferment
   1. Right click Cauldron with clock to see how long its been fermenting.
   2. You can get fermenting times from /recipe hints.
5. Right click empty glass bottles to collect your fermented brews!

TIP: Use a clock on a cauldron, if you want to know the time the ingredients have been fermenting.

Step 1a. Ferment “Tutorial Brew”

1. Add 5 x Sugar Cane
2. Add 1 x Warped fungus
3. Add 1 x Brain Coral
4. Add 20 x Cocoa beans
5. Wait 7 mins (Right click clock to check time)
6. Right click 3 empty glass bottles for your fermented brew

You are now ready to distil your fermented Tutorial brew into a base brew!

Step 2. Build a Distiller

Distilling happens in a vanilla brewing stand with glowstone filter, this is not consumed.

1. Put fermented bottles (Base brews) into brewing stand
2. Put glowstone dust as filter on top into the brewing stand (The filter will not be consumed)
3. Distil… Check time with clock

Step 2a. Distil “Tutorial Brew”

1. Add your base Tutorial Brew into the brewing stand
2. Wait 30 seconds
3. Remove your Distilled Brews!

You are now ready to barrel age your Normal Tutorial Brew.

Step 3. Build a Barrel for ageing

A brewing barrel is needed for ageing. It can be built in 2 sizes, big or small and can be made in 8 different types of wood (Birch, Oak, Jungle, Spruce, Acacia, Dark Oak, Crimson, Warped).

Some brews don’t require ageing, some require a specific wood type and others can use any barrel wood type.

Small barrel

1. Build 8 Wooden stairs as shown in Fig A.
2. Place a Sign on the lower right side and write “Barrel” on the upper Line.

Message “Barrel created” should appear if you have built the barrel correctly.

Big barrel

1. Build 4 Fence posts, 12 Wooden stairs, 15 wood planks as shown in Fig B.
2. Attach a Spigot (Fence) and a sign in the middle that has “Barrel” written on the upper line.
3. Right click to open barrel and put the bottles for ageing.

Message “Barrel created” should appear if you have built the barrel correctly.

• Depending on the Recipe the Type of wood used may alter the quality of the aged Brew.
• Breaking a Barrel will spit out everything inside.

Step 3a. Barrel age “Tutorial Brew”

1. Right click barrel to open
2. Add your Distilled Normal Tutorial Brew(s) into the Barrel
3. Wait 7 Minecraft days (20 mins)
4. Remove your finished “Good Tutorial Brew”

Step 4. Drinking

The amount of alcohol inside the brew will be applied to the player when drinking.

Depending on the quality of it, that may have different effects.

• The pirate may not be able to walk normally anymore, he will weave, making it almost impossible to walk straight
• Effects like Blindness, Confusion, Poison etc. occur
• The chat will be altered depending on drunkenness, many things players write may be incomprehensible, sometimes it seems senseless.
• Is the alcohol particularly strong, it may have poisonous effects
• After drinking a lot, there is a chance of vomiting
• When logging off, the player may have difficulties reaching his character, thus some logins shortly after may be denied
• After over drinking the player may faint (Disconnecting)

Step 5. Getting Sober

After drinking an alcoholic brew it takes a while for the alcohol to wear off, You can speed up the process by drinking Milk from the bucket and consume bread.

• If you log off extremely drunk, you may log back on to find yourself at an completely unknown place in the middle of nowhere having no idea how he got there!
• But if you log on after a few hours or the next morning, you will find yourself at /home, without any memories.
• Also if the Alcohol was not of best quality, the player may face some bad type of hangover (slowness and hunger).

Step 6. “Brew sealing table” for selling in shops and trading

You can drop Brews to other players for them to use or age further, but if you wish to sell Brews in a shop or trade with an NPC (Alchemist at /warp brewing) you will be required to seal a brew.

Craft a Brew sealing table

1. Craft in a workbench with 2 Bottles over 4 planks.
2. Place down the sealing table and right click to open, it will be named “Brew Sealing Table“

How to use Brew sealing table

1. Put a Brew into the Sealing table to equalize it, This makes it equal to other Brews that have been brewed similarly so its possible to stack in shops and trade.
2. Wait a few seconds for the Brew to seal before removing

Brew un-label

Brews can have their labels removed (Their lore) with the command /brew unlabel, This hides the detailed numbers on the label (Lore) of the Potion in your hand forever, this can be required for trading with the Alchemist NPC.

This differs from Sealing a Brew, unlabeled Brews do not equalize the brew, they just remove the numbered lore.
