Brewing Ideas/Suggestions

Post by Irylia »

Disclaimer: I am not a brewer. I don't even usually drink brewed beverages. However, I think these steps are fairly accurate based on what the internet seems to think is correct. It is slightly simplified, but probably will need to be MORE simplified for game purposes. There are suggestions for what skills might be able to do which steps, maybe with more or less skill than Brewing itself. I wanted to get this started so Rias can start thinking about potential Brewing methods :)

If anyone has any suggestions for this or any other ideas for Brewing please post them.
