Alcohol in TFC+ is divided in two categories: Fermented Alcohol and Distilled Alcohol. Fermented alcohol is a mildly intoxicating drink and can be used to make vinegar. Distilled Alcohol is a strongly intoxicating drink, and can be used as an antiseptic for crafting Sterile Bandages.

Obtaining

Alcohol is divided in two categories: Fermented Alcohol, which is made by fermenting fruits, vegetables, grains, or honey in a Barrel or Large Ceramic Vessel; and Distilled Alcohol, which is made by processing Fermented Alcohol in a Still.

Note: If the Large Ceramic Vessel is used instead of the barrel for making Alcohol, remember that its liquid capacity is half (500mB) that of the Barrel (1,000 mB). Recipe inputs are halved as well.

Fermented Alcohols

There are few basic recipes for making fermented Alcohols: the Fruit Wines are made by adding yeast to Fruit Juice; Mead is made by adding Yeast to a honey-water mixture; grain and potato wines are made by adding Yeast to a food-water mixture; and Beers are made by adding cooked malted grain to water.

Note: Yeast is not a specific item. Any amount of fruit or malted grain with at least 5% decay can be used as yeast.

Fruit Wines

Wines made from the Juices of Fruit, Agave, or Sugar Cane are the simplest to make. Just add Yeast to a container of Juice and seal it. The GUI of the sealed container will show the date sealed and the expected output. After 72 in-game hours, the yeast will be consumed and the Juice will turn into Wine.

Mead

Mead is made in two steps. First, create Honeywater by adding a bowl or bucket of Honey (100 mB) to a nearly full Barrel (9000 mB) of Fresh Water. The output is created immediately. The second step for is to add yeast to the container of Honeywater and seal it. The GUI of the sealed barrel will show the date sealed and the expected output. After 72 in-game hours, the yeast will be consumed and all the Honeywater will turn into Mead.

Grain Wines and Potato Wine

Grain wines and potato wine are made in two steps.

The first step is to seal at least 145 oz. of grain or *cooked* potato into a container full of Fresh Water. The GUI of the sealed barrel will show the date sealed and the expected output, which will be a food-water mixture (ex: barley water, potato water).

The second step is to add yeast to the container of food-water mixture and seal it. The GUI of the sealed barrel will show the date sealed and the expected output. After 72 in-game hours, the yeast will be consumed and all the food-water mixture will turn into Alcohol.

Beers

Beers are crafting from Malted Grains. To begin, place ⇧ Shift+  Right Click a Large Ceramic Vessel on top of a Firepit. Fill the Vessel with Fresh Water, add grain to the vessel's item slot, then seal the vessel and light the Firepit. After 4 in-game hours, the grains will turn into Malted Grain. Grain expands in volume by 20% when it is malted. If a full 160oz stack is used, the output will be a 160oz stack and a 32oz stack of Malted Grain.

The second step of crafting Beers is to roast the Malted grain. Cook the stack of Malted Grain in a Firepit. Any degree of doneness will work.

The final step is to seal at least 145 oz. of the cooked Malted Grain into a container full of Fresh Water. If the Malted Grain and Fresh Water mixture is correct, the GUI of the sealed barrel will show the date sealed and the expected output. After 72 in-game hours, the Malted Grain will be consumed and all the Fresh Water will turn into Beer. Beers do not require yeast.

Distilled Alcohols

Distilled Alcohols are strong intoxicants (which can also be used as antiseptics) made by processing Fermented Alcohol with a Still.

Creating a Still

 
A Still created from two Large Ceramic Vessels, a Firepit, and a Ceramic Blowpipe

To create a Still, ⇧ Shift +   Right Click a Large Ceramic Vessel on top of a Firepit and place a Ceramic Blowpipe into the vessel's item slot. This vessel will boil the input liquid. Next, place another empty Large Ceramic Vessel on the ground next to the Firepit. This vessel will catch the output liquid. If everything is set up correctly, the blowpipe should appear to connect the two vessels.

Note: The Still can also be used to distill Fresh Water from Salt Water (with Salt as a side product).

Distillation

To start the process, fill the vessel on the firepit with Fermented Alcohol, seal it, and light the Firepit. Over time, The Fermented Alcohol will begin to boil away from the heated vessel, and Distilled Alcohol will start to collect in the receiving vessel. Every 200 mB of Fermented Alcohol will produce 75 mB of Distilled Alcohol. The process will stop if the heated vessel is unsealed or if the Firepit runs out of fuel.
