Glasses

You will need glasses to put the cider or ale into after you brew it. To get glasses you can:

• Craft them (see Crafting)
• Buy or pick up Beer and drink them to empty the glasses
• Glasses also respawn in some places
  • 5 glasses respawn in the bar in Brimhaven

A hollowed out Calquat Fruit can be used instead of glasses. They are used the same way and will hold 4 glasses worth.

Ale Yeast

You will need Ale Yeast to make cider and ales. To get Ale Yeast you need an empty pot. Take the pot to:

• Metarialus in Port Phasmatys for 5 Ectotokens each (See Ghosts Ahoy Quest for info on Ectotokens.)
• Blandebir in Keldagrim for 25gp each

Cider

Items needed:

16 Apples
Ale Yeast
4 empty Buckets

Level 14 Cooking is required to make Cider and you gain 182 experience. Use the apples with the Apple Barrel. You will automatically smash them by jumping up an down on them (pretty funny animation) and then full the bucket. This makes Apple Mush. No experience is gained for making Apple Mush.

1. Use the Apple Mush with the Fermenting Vat (You must have all 4 buckets of Apple Mush to add.)
2. Use the Ale Yeast with the Fermanting Vat

Now the Cider will start to ferment. Once it has finished fermenting, turn the Valve to drain the Cider into the barrel, this is when you gain the experience. Use an empty Beer Glass with the barrel to get the Cider out. You will get 8 glasses full. The effects of drinking Cider are: -3 Attack, -3 Strength, +1 Hitpoint.

(NOTE: If you try to use the valve before the cider has finished fermenting, you will drain the vat and not gain any experience. You will be asked to confirm your choice.)

Ales

Items needed:

2 Buckets of water
2 Barley Malt (use Barley with a range)
Main Ingredient (Krandorian Hops shown)
Ale Yeast

1. Use the Buckets of Water with the Fermenting Vat
2. Use the Barley Malt with the Fermenting Vat
3. Use the main ingredient with the Fermenting Vat
4. Use the Ale Yeast with the Fermanting Vat

It will start to ferment. Once it has finished fermenting, turn the Valve to drain it into the barrel, this is when you gain the experience. Use an empty Beer Glass with the barrel to put the ale into it. You will get 8 glasses full.

(NOTE: If you try to use the valve before the ale has finished fermenting, you will drain the vat and not gain any experience. You will be asked to confirm your choice.)
