Fermenting
The initial step of making alcohol is to ferment your raw material in a barrel. You can ferment fruit juices (which will require a fruit press), honey, and flour (which will require a quern) with water. The result will be a cider, wine, ale, or mead, depending on the raw material used.
Distilling
The next step of alcohol making is distilling. For this you will need a boiler and a condenser. The boiler can only be fueled with firewood. Place a bucket under the condenser spout, fill the condenser with water, and build a firepit under the boiler. Fill the boiler with up to 30L of fermented alcohol, and light the fire under the boiler. After a time, the fermented alcohol will be converted to a distilled spirit, such as brandy, whiskey, or vodka.
Aqua Vitae
Repeat the distilling process once more, but with spirits rather than fermented alcohol. The product of this will be nearly pure alcohol, called Aqua Vitae, which can be used as an ingredient for useful items.
