Be Still My Hops, Sales

[Be Still My Hops, Sales - 8212832]
Dingy and cramped, this building appears unkempt but serviceable. A long wooden bar runs along one scuffed wall, while a set of stained wooden shelves have been nailed above it. A swinging door leads to a backroom storage space. The musty smell in the air battles with the sharp smells of alcohol and malted grain. You also see a prominent wooden sign.

In the Common language, it reads:
These stills are precision pieces of equipment that let you brew or distill alcoholic beverages.
They require charges from golden wands, or fire spells, to have enough power to work.
Blank recipe books, as well as recipe cards to unlock recipes in them, can be found on the shelves.
Each recipe has required ingredients that need to be added to the still, along with water and yeast, to be able to create the alcohol.
You can add optional foraged ingredients, tea/coffee flavorings, food, and other items to infuse extra taste into the alcohol.
Most all ingredients can be foraged; a selection of limited ingredients, as well as contraptions to let you further customize the bottles of alcohol, can be found through the swinging door.
The voucher on the bar can be used to unlock the ability for the stills to imbue added effects to the created alcohol, such as sparkling, spicy, or sour tastes.
The permit can be used to allow the stills to produce enough alcohol to refill empty kegs.
The slip can be used to allow you to draw syringes of alcohol from the stills; using these, you are able to inject alcohol into certain chocolate confections.
The fluorite is a magical object that can banish away your drunkenness if you spend too much time sampling your creations.

On the wooden bar you see: a chocolate brown syringe-stamped slip, a blotchy keg-shaped permit, an alcohol effect voucher, a reinforced brass still polished to a mirror shine, a burnished bronze still, a wide-bottomed steel still set with a blackened spigot, and a compact copper pot still.

Be Still My Hops, Storage

[Be Still My Hops, Storage - 8212833]
Several crates, some open and some closed, are scattered across the scuffed floorboards of this tiny space. It is difficult to see clearly, as the only light source is a grimy lantern hanging from a bracket on one wall. The air is stuffy and mixed with the subtle sweetness of malt. You also see a prominent wooden sign, a wooden-sided storage chest and an open wooden crate.

In the Common language, it reads:
The yeast is a required ingredient for every recipe and can only ever be purchased.
The box is a special device that lets you create malted versions of grains you forage so that you do not have to continually purchase pre-malted grains.
The other items in the crate are basic ingredients to get you started with some recipes.
The contraption in the chest is a special mechanism that lets you further customize bottles of alcohol made with the stills.
You can feed it various metals, woods, or glass to change the material (or keep the same material the bottle was created with) and change the bottle's design off-the-shelf.

The provided letter will unlock the ability to use cobbling or alchemy dye with the contraption so that the created bottles can have their material or labels dyed.
The provided vellum will let you insert candy versions of Bugs On Parade/Life Aquatic creatures into the bottles of alcohol, while the provided document will let you use the gem versions of the same creatures as stoppers.

In the wooden-sided chest you see: a sleek jewel-toned document, a wide bug-stamped vellum, a colorful Dye Additive letter, a simple Custom Etching scroll, a simple Custom Label parchment, a simple Custom Stopper paper, a simple Custom Bottle Design note, and an intricate copper-framed contraption.
