Heirloom: Distillery turns Heirloom's crops and ingredients into a complete brewing system. Grow grapes, mash fruit and grain, ferment wine and beer, then run finished brews through a copper still to make brandy, whiskey, rum and special variants such as tequila and vodka.

This is an addon for Heirloom and requires the base plugin: Heirloom Culinary & Farming.

From harvest to bottle

Start in the Stomping Tub

Both fruit and grain begin here. Add six compatible ingredients and jump in to mash them.

The same tub process branches by ingredient profile: fruit produces must, while grain produces wort.

Fruit becomes wine

Fruit must can go directly into the Fermentation Station and then be bottled as wine.

Grain becomes beer

Grain wort must be boiled in the Boiling Pot before fermentation.

Once boiled, the wort can be fermented and bottled as beer.

Distil stronger spirits

Run finished drinks through the copper still to produce brandy, whiskey and rum, with trait-based variants such as tequila and vodka.

Brewing chemistry

Every ingredient has its own sugar, tannin and acidity values. The balance of your recipe determines quality, alcohol potential and which traits the finished drink unlocks. There are 24 traits to discover, including Golden Elixir, Desert Spirit, Perfect Harmony, Warming Spirit and Sparkling.

Brews continue to develop through six aging stages: Fresh, Young, Mature, Aged, Vintage and Ancient.

40+ mashable ingredients

• Five custom grape varieties

• Vanilla fruits, grains, flowers, mushrooms, vegetables and sugar sources

Inebriation that actually matters

Drunkenness persists and decays over time, even while players are offline. Depending on their level, players may slur chat, stumble, become nauseous, vomit or black out. Excessive drinking can cause hangovers or temporary login denial. Wake-up locations, sobering items, command distortion and every major effect can be configured.
