Domestic Brewing (sage ability)

Domestic Brewing is an amateur-status sage ability in the study of Grasses & Grains. Also known as home-brewing, the knowledge enables low-scale production of beer and ale on a small scale. The brewing process is managed in caldrons that are used as boiling vessels in creating word and in 5 to 15 gallon kegs for the purpose of aging, filtering and storing. A cool space, usually underground, is needed to store the product during the fermentation process. It is not recommended to brew during warm summer months.

The time required varies depending upon opinion, but the outside limits are definitely 2 to 4 weeks from brewing day to when the product is ready for bottling (and it must be bottled due to the brewing process, or else it will go bad). Brewing time spent per gallon is typically 40 minutes, so that brewing in a 15 gallon tun will require 10 hours. Transferring to a bottle will typically take about 2 minutes per bottle and one gallon will fill slightly less than 8 pint bottles of product (the loss it due to waste and spoilage). Both processes must be done by a knowledgeable character or else the result will contain particulate matter and taste bad.

Domestically-brewed beer cannot be considered adequate for sale, but it will be gratefully consumed by both characters and followers and will retain its intoxicating effects.
