Still and brewing alcohol

[darth-servo]

Tied to the Cooking skill: allow beer, wine, cider, and hard liquor brewing.

Making beer, wine, and cider only requires Sugar, Yeast, and some Flavorings (fruit, etc) and could use gallon jugs as a container. Yeast could be found in Bars, Restaurants, and Grocery stores.

Real life brewing takes several weeks/months, so perhaps the ability to deploy the container as an item onto a tile (like a brazier) where it cooks for awhile. Because of time compression in the game, perhaps only a week (or less) would be required. (IRL, you can make drinkable alcoholic cider in about 2 weeks if you aren't fussy about the taste.)

A Still could be crafted from a metal tank, rubber hose, and a glass jar or two. It would be a deployable item or maybe even a furniture item that would allow you to cook grain, corn, potatoes, etc into vodka or other liquor over time.

If you wanted to go a bit sci-fi and forgo the time requirement, you could have an item like the water purifier that processes alcohol much faster (a Robo-Distiller). Feed it a potato, apple, corn,etc, get a small dose of booze right away.
