Ingredients And Flavour¶
Mashable ingredients still carry Sugar, Acid and Tannins, ingredient colors, grape varieties and readable flavour notes. Sugar affects fermentation potential. Acid and tannins describe character; a universal chemistry-balance formula no longer decides quality or overrides the drink's family.
Beer strength remains ingredient-based. These default grain values yield ordinary beers averaging about 4.1–5%; the actual mash roll varies strength by up to 20% in either direction. Grain and rice can ferment raw; boiling first earns full process-quality credit without changing ABV. Roasting selects beer styles without separately adding alcohol. Mixed batches average their ingredients by quantity. Existing mash keeps its stored chemistry; edits affect newly created mash.
| Ingredient | Fermentable sugar | Average fermented ABV |
|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 8.2 | 4.51% |
| Wheat Seeds | 8 | 4.40% |
| Torchflower Seeds | 8 | 4.40% |
| Beetroot Seeds | 7.5 | 4.12% |
| Melon Seeds | 7.5 | 4.12% |
| Pumpkin Seeds | 8.5 | 4.68% |
| Corn | 9 | 4.95% |
| Pitcher Pod | 9 | 4.95% |
Choose a drink family for its suitable base, then follow craftsmanship and cellar guidance. /hld stats <item> and the Ingredients browser remain useful for inspecting available ingredients.
Open Distillery Guide in /hl or /hld guide for categorized ingredient pages, station instructions, quality, personal Brew History and Drunkenness & Sobering. Mashables shows the actual ingredients directly, with chemistry on hover. Pages share normal pagination, Back/Forward navigation and silent navigation. Right-click a saved brew to see its location when available. Distillery Drinks and /hld menu open editable recipe previews. The admin-only /hld lab uses production calculations and remains separate.
Old trait powers have been retired; mixing special ingredients does not recreate their former potion abilities. This existing page address remains available for older links. Administrators configure ingredient stats in ingredients.yml and family/style rules in beverage-affinities.json.
