Beer Brewing Automation is a multiple level skill from the School of Body allowing one to brew Beer without having to be near the beer kettle for every stage of the brewing.
One must first learn Beer Brewing Science, which is learned automatically upon barrelling a beer after the release of this skill.


Tuition

At School of Body

  • Level 0: 100 Candles, 5 Rope
    • Allows 1 ingredient to be scheduled
  • Level 1: 250 Candles, 15 Rope
    • Allows 2 ingredients to be scheduled
  • Level 2: 500 Candles, 40 Rope
    • Allows 3 ingredients to be scheduled
  • Level 3: 1000 Candles, 70 Rope
    • Allows 4 ingredients to be scheduled
  • Level 4: 25 Glass Rods

Use

Scheduling Ingredient Addition

  • Click the "Beer" button, and then click again to refresh the window and show the "Schedule" menu
  • Each scheduled step requires 1 Candle and 1 Rope, plus the ingredients.
    • After indicating the ingredient and the quantity, you must set the time, "At how many seconds remaining" (as of 2021-08-07 and still like that in T11).
    • As with ingredients entered manually, all seconds are internally rounded to the nearest multiple of 12.
    • Entering 0 for the seconds results in 12!
  • Once the item is scheduled to be added, it is removed from your inventory. The schedule can be reviewed before the brewing process is started.
  • Before brewing has started, there is also the option to "Reset" the schedule. Scheduled ingredients are returned to the player's inventory (but not candle and rope).

Examples

When the interface asks "At how many seconds remaining?", it means how many seconds the ingredient should brew for. This is the countdown timer on the kettle, which starts at 1200 and counts down to 0.

  • Enter 1200 to add the ingredients with 1200 seconds remaining, for ingredients added at the Start.
  • Enter 600 to add the ingredients with 600 seconds remaining.
  • Enter 60 to add the ingredients at 60 seconds remaining.
  • Enter 12 to add the ingredients at 12 seconds remaining, for ingredients added at the Finish.

Scheduling Seal Times

  • Requires a Sand Timer, (made from an Hour Glass, at a crafting bench, with the Art of the Pipe skill), and Level 4 Beer Brewing Automation
  • The number you enter is the beer kettle's fermenting timer, which starts at 2400 and finishes at 0.
    • In T11 you no longer need to calculate the number of seconds - it matches the timer for the Seal button.
  • The interface will show that the kettle is sealed as soon as the fermentation stage begins. This is to prevent the player from manually clicking the "Seal" button and confusing the microbes.
  • The sand timer must be of Quality 3000 to be usable (but even then fairly worthless), and will be usable up to (Quality/3)+300 Seconds from the start of the brewing process. That is, you can specify only specify seal times at least 3300 - Quality/3 seconds from the end.
    • The interface will tell you the latest seal time (smallest number from the end) allowed by this timer.

A Quality 9900 timer allows you to seal at any time during fermentation.

    • Most likely you will want a Quality >= 6900 (1000 s seal time).

What Quality do I need (Math)

3600 - seal time = (quality / 3) + 300, so quality = 3*(3300 - seal time).

  • Seal at 1000 requires Quality = 3*(3300 - 1000) = 3*2300 = 6900.
  • Seal at 750 requires Quality = 3*(3300 - 750) = 3*2550 = 7650.
  • Seal at 0 requires Quality = 3*(3300 - 0) = 9900.
