The Alcohol Still (also referred to as the Portable Alcohol Still) is a portable still suitable for making a wide variety of alcoholic beverages when the appropriate ingredients are placed inside. They were first sold at Bloodriven Village's shop, Be Still My Hops. Stills can be unlocked to allow for different alcoholic effects, such as "sparkling", or to allow the ability to refill beer kegs with alcohol made in the still. Stills utilize a recipe book for saving different types of recipes. Ingredients can be purchased and foraged. Some foraged ingredients (barley, wheat, and rye grass) can be processed with a malting box to turn them into their malted form.

Still

An alcohol still is required to make alcoholic beverages from ingredients placed inside. The still is powered by fire spells or golden wands.

Analyze

You analyze the copper pot still and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
        -- Alcohol Still --
  This copper pot still will create alcoholic beverages, either brewed or distilled.
  This is a basic still, which will require ingredients as well as charges from fire spells or golden wands to function.
  In addition, you will need an alcohol recipe book to be able to select recipes to create with this still.
  Food, foraged items, tea/coffee flavorings, and other items can be added to the still during the creation process to infuse extra flavoring into the finished product.  You can only add up to two (2) of these extra flavorings, but they are not required.
  These extra flavorings will also affect the color of the resulting liquid.
    ==Alteration Guidelines==
  * Alterations to the 15/15/15 and long description of this copper pot still are fine, but it cannot accept a show.
  * The noun must remain "still" and it must be made primarily of metal.
  * The article of the created alcohol can be customized, but it must be a large container that could feasibly hold alcohol.  Examples: "a bottle of", "a jug of".  This can't be longer than 15 characters.
  * The created alcohol can have a long description, but there must be an open spot for the adjective, as this can differ from distillation to distillation.  Example: a bottle of (adjective) (alcohol noun) with a peeling gold label.
  * The created alcohol can also have a show description as well as an inscription (READ) in any language.
  * The material of the alcohol's container, as well as the top/cork, can also be customized; these are mainly used in messaging.
  * Any willing merchant that is comfortable with this script can customize all of the above.
  * NOTE: Altering the still itself counts as a service, while altering how the  created alcohol looks is a completely separate service.
  ==Features==
  As a basic still, you have access to the following verbs: DROP/POUR (add ingredients/flavorings), CLEAN (empty still of in progress work), FLIP (change adjective of produced alcohol), PUSH (create alcohol).
  Add golden wands to the still or cast fire spells at it to charge its power.
  Adding more water to the still will weaken the resulting alcohol.
  POINT an accompanying recipe book at this still to select a type of alcohol to begin making.
  INSPECT the still to get an overview of how the alcohol will appear as well as where you are in the process.
  Possible alcohol effects: None.
    ==Current Settings==
  * Alcohol 15/15/15: a bottle of,(adjective),(alcohol noun)
  * Alcohol Container Material: glass [Default]
  * Alcohol Container Noun: bottle [Default]
  * Alcohol Container Top: cork [Default]

You get no sense of whether or not the still may be further lightened.

PINCH WARNING!

You are about to create a keg with "pale yellow bourbon" with a color of pale yellow and an extra flavoring of "raisin". If you are sure about this, repeat this command in the next 30 seconds.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
>pinch still
Setting an empty wooden keg beneath the spout of the brass still, you rotate a protruding knob on the front of the still's boiler. Immediately, the mash inside begins to boil and froth violently, sending distilled liquid up through the column of twisting tubes and coils. Pale yellow liquid drips in a steady stream into the waiting keg. Once the flow stops, you affix the lid on the keg with a few steady taps from the palm of your hand. Satisfied, you heft the now full wooden keg under one arm.

A keg of alcohol has already been produced from this still this week - best to wait a little longer before creating that much alcohol at once again!

  POINT the book at an appropriate still to start making that particular recipe of alcohol.
  INSPECT the book to view all of the current recipes.
    ==Alteration Guidelines==
  * This book can have its 15/15/15, long, and show freely altered as long as it is obviously a book of some sort.
  * The noun can change as long as it's obviously a book-like thing you can write in that could feasibly contain recipes.
    ==Current Settings==
  This book currently contains 0 recipe(s).

You get no sense of whether or not the book may be further lightened.

Malting Box

A malting box is an optional accessory for use with an alcohol still. Foraged grains (barley, wheat, or rye grass) can be placed inside to be converted into their malted form, which is then used in certain recipes with the alcohol still. It is powered by fire spells or golden wands.

Analyze

You analyze the metal-framed box and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
    -- Malting Box --
  This is a simple box that will take foraged grains (barley, wheat, or rye grass) and turn them into malted versions that can be used in recipes for the alcohol brewing/distilling system (alcohol stills).
  It requires golden wands or to have fire-type spells cast at it to charge it.
  Simply PUT the foraged grains in the box, CLOSE it, and TURN it, then remove the newly malted grains from within.
    ==Alteration Guidelines==
  * Alterations to the 15/15/15, long, and show of this box are fine, but it must remain some sort of box-like container that is made of metal.
This box cannot be deepened at all.
