Ingredient lists for brewing of alcohol
 
Compiled by Curious to prevent meta.
 
Note: a still was provided as part of the initial town settling and has been utilized as part of the brewing process. While copper condensing coils are the preferred method of home alcohol distillation, fourcannon does not possess the means to acquire one and had to improvise with the metals available. The main penalties are poorer heat dissipation, and quicker degradation of the metal
 
All lists require a boiling pot or central mixture container, with which to pour all the ingredients, and a fermentation vessel such as a jar, barrel, etc. with which the ingredients need to sit while the yeast breaks down the active sugars into ethanol.
 
Added note: ingredient amounts vary greatly based on recipe. The list includes merely one selected recipe, preferably from one that includes the amount of total product acquired, and approximate yields based on the selected recipe.
This yield calculator can also be used to obtain the amount of alcohol produced based on the amount of sugar in the mixture.

Additionally, yields can be calculated by the input of desired alcohol content, temperature, and energy into the below calculator. For instance, the default setting produce 5.17L of 12% alcohol during the primary still time.
