1.1-Interdiction

Well this is a missunderstood part of the game not only for it low amount of cooking exp it gives, but most people don't brew beer. This guide will have all of what you need to know about brewing and the beers that come from it. Why should one brew his own beer? well its simple and takes little effort and you can be proud that you have made your own beer also you could also get lucky and get some mature ales which are uncommon.

 

2.0-The brewery's

 

Keldagrim

 

Fastest way there is to take the GrandExchange trapdoor and go north from the carts.

 

Port Phasmatys

 

Fastest way to this brewery is ectophial then go south into the city and the brewing vat is under the trap door on the east side of the bar.

 

A full brewing trip takes around 10 mins to harvest and re-start the fermenting process again. Here is the setup i use when checking on brews.

 

 

The reason i use kegs instead of glasses you can put mature ale into the beer glasses after the run. so using kegs to harvest beer is quick because you don't have to bank for glasses/supplies.

 

 

2.1-The Ingredients

The Main Ingredients

The beer glass's and calquat kegs: From one vat of fully fermented brew you can get either 2 full calquat kegs(4) or 8 glass's of beer.

 

The barley malt comes from cooking barley on a range, you will need 2 barley malt's for each vat of beer you plan on making.

 

The ale yeast is the very last thing you add to your vat and one of the most forgotten ingredients, you can get the yeast by having a empty pot and 25gp or 5 eco tockens and talking to either Blandebir in Keldagrim(25gp) or Metarialus in Port Phasmatys(5 ecto tokens).

 

The buckets of water come from using buckets on a sink/water pump or any source of water, you also need 2 per vat you plan on making.

 

The Secondary Ingredients

 

These are the ingredients that decide what beer will be made

 

The stuff and PoE

 

This is a extra item that you can add to your brews to give them a 50% better chance at becoming mature ales. you can buy them from Honest Jimmy at the trouble brewing game for 5 pieces of eight(PoE) per.

Bring the following inventory if you plan on making cider:

or

 

First, add the buckets of apple mush to the fermenting vat.

Add a pot of ale yeast

Now sit back and wait.

 

You CANNOT use the stuff for cider.

 

Bring the following inventory if you plan on making ANY type of ale.

 

Add two buckets of water to a fermenting vat.

Add two lots of barley malt (this is made by using barley on a Cooking range) to the fermenting vat.

Add the stuff now if you plan on adding it.

Add the main ingredient to the fermenting vat.

Lastly, add a pot of ale yeast.

Wait for several days (depending on the type of drink you are brewing).

Turn the valve to let the liquid run into the barrel.

Now simply use either a calquat keg or a beer glass on the barrel to empty the contents.

 

4.0-My beer research

 

Here is going to log my brewing research the goal of this section is to get myself and other to understand the brewing process better.the two main things that i want to get out of this is a window period of how long it takes ea brew to go from fermenter to harvesting time and the other thing is to get all off the brews at there different stages of color.

 

Brewing Stages

Just like plants for farming each beer ferments in stages here will be the pictures of the brewing stages to help you know how much longer your beer might have before it will fully mature so you can harvest it.

 

Water and barley malt

 

Bad Ale

 

 

Here are the stages of the fermentation of the different brews that you can make.

Time for brewing- the brewing times are a guess on an average that i check 1-2 times a day to see what stage the beer is at and from that i can tell how long it takes from stage 1-2 and then the same time from 2-3 there. there are only 3 stages for each brew before you can harvest you brew.

 

These have 12-14 hours per stage and there is 3 stages you can harvest these on a every other day basis.

~Greenman's Ale

~Wizard Mind Bomb

 

These are about 8 hours per stage with 3 stages so these are harvested every 24 hours

~Dragon Bitter

~Axeman's Folly

~Chef's Delight

 

These are 4-6 hours per stage time with 3 stages you can harvest this every 12-18 hours

Moonlight Mead

Finely organised guide :thumbup:

 

Some interesting things to know would be:

- Tell which ales are the most useful ones to brew and why

- Add that time already :) how long we need to wait before ale is ready

- How long it takes to do a brewing trip using both places? (Includes emptying brewed ale to keg/glasses (which one you recommend) and putting new ingredients in.

[Danqazmlp]

Very good guide. I was looking for something like this a few weeks ago but could not find anything.

[UserOnRS]

Nice guide, a few mistakes though:

 

You can use 8 beer glasses or 2 calquat kegs on one vat

You need 4 chocolate dust for 1 vat.

 

I'll be using this. :D Didn't realise chef's delight (m) was worth so much.

Added a few things and also thanks to whoever fixed the

[Troacctid]

Needs the odds of brewing a mature ale.

 

Also, it's better to use beer glasses than calquat kegs. The kegs are harder to sell.

use kegs for the runs then you can use the beer glasses on them to get the brew into the glasses. and the odds are just depending on your cooking level the better your level the better chance you have.

DOne brewing 3 times with "The stuff" and I've had a 100% success rate with mature ales...am I just lucky or is it always 100% with "The stuff"?

[metoo1000]

its increases your chance that you already have given your current cooking lvl say at 99 you have X% chance all the stuff dose is add 50% more to that number which is different per ale and cooking level so if your cooking lvl is 99 and you brewing a low level ale it might be close to 100%.

hey no prob

[Dormado]

Awesome guide, didn't use it since I'm a brewer myself, but the public needs to know the awesomeness of ales.

 

Infact the most healing food ingame comes from here: The keg of mature moonlight mead heals 4x6, thats 24 hp. Not in one bite, but meh, the ales do the trick.

 

And infact the most rewarding thing i find in brewing is finding a mature ale: the shinyness of lightly-dark green (yeah an awesome color) of a mature slayers respite is awesome.

[Dormado]

doublepost...yeah, im that lame...(is there a delete button somewhere?)

[Obtaurian]

Great guide. I've been brewing for a long time. It's pretty fun to do, for some reason. Maybe it's a sign that I should start doing it IRL.

[metoo1000]

Thanks guys i also love to brew thats is why i made this guide to help people notice that its not a hard thing to do and is fun.

If you guys didn't know, Chris has his own brewing company in NYC. He practices on RS so he wrote this guide so if anyone else is dreaming of starting a brewing company they can get a head start with this guide.

I rofled for about 3 hours before i could even reply to this lmfao.

[epicnuts]

You should put everything concerning one beer together, which will make it easier to look things up but apart from that, great guide!

[Dormado]

A little mistake i spotted after rereading your guide: moonlight mead requires 4 bittercap muchrooms , not 1. I thought it was 1 too, before i tried it today myself. Memory tricks, eh?
