The brewery: brew faster and sell higher

Updated:

Honey and water become wort, the wort boils over firewood, and beer ferments in a crock. Here's how to speed up every step.

The brewing chain

  • Preparation: 1 honey + 2 water → wort (6 s).
  • Brewhouse: wort + 1 firewood → boiled wort (10 s).
  • Fermentation: boiled wort → honey beer in a crock (60 s).

Every station level makes it 50% faster; the top level is 8.

How many crocks you can have

By brewery level 1/2/3/4: 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 crocks. You start with two; buy more under “Equipment”.

Two tricks to always use

  • A flame over the oven appears every 50 s. Tap it — preparation and boiling run twice as fast for 30 seconds.
  • A spoon appears when a crock is 30–60% fermented. Tap it in time and you get two crocks instead of one.

Missed a flame? No harm, it's just slower. But never miss the spoon!

Auto-collect, cupbearer and helper

A finished crock waits 120 s, then the brewer pours it himself — in the game and while you're away. From chapter 5 you can hire a cupbearer (pours after 60 s), later a helper (right away).

Cellar, guest hall and grain hall

  • Level 2 — cellar: 4 slots, 10 min of ageing, beer sells ×1.6.
  • Level 3 — guest hall: a guest drops by every 3 min; treat them for trust, tips and glory.
  • Level 4 — grain hall: kvass and barley beer with hops.
