✨ Module Introduction

This mod aims to add more endgame gameplay variety to Stardew Valley's crop processing system! Tired of the same old fruit punch or stardew punch? Now you can make a variety of delicious spirits with your distiller, bringing a whole new source of income to your farm!

🏭Alembic function

• **Unlocking conditions**: After your farming level reaches level 9, you will receive a letter to unlock the recipe the next day.
• **Crafting materials**: 10 copper ingots, 5 iron ingots, 1 iridium ingot
• **Operational Requirements**: Each use requires 1 coal and takes about 1 day.
• **Core Function**: Process wine and mash into various spirits

🍹 Complete recipe list

Basic distillation recipe

• 4 bottles of wine → 1 bottle of brandy
• 4 parts mash → 1 bottle of vodka
• 1 bottle of vodka + 1 juniper berry → 1 bottle of gin
• 4 bottles of Cactus Cider → 1 bottle of White Tequila
• 4 parts corn mash → 1 bottle of moonshine

Advanced processing formula

• White agave in a small bucket → Aged agave
• Moonshine in a keg → Whiskey
• 4 bottles of sake → 1 bottle of shochu
• 4 parts beet mash → 1 bottle of white rum
• White rum in keg → dark rum

🌿 Seasonal collection

• **Jinber berries**: can be collected from the bushes during the 21st-24th of autumn.
• **Alternative**: If not using the Bush Bloom mod, making gin requires holly berries

⭐ Quality System

• All spirits retain the quality level of their ingredients
• All spirits can be aged in wooden barrels to improve their quality
• It takes a full season to go from normal quality to Iridium quality, the same as wine

🎯 Economic advantages

Since the distillation process concentrates 4 fruits or vegetables into a single product, this means you need fewer barrels to improve product quality! The final product is simply aged in wooden barrels.

Tequila, whiskey and gin are reasonable alternatives to ancient fruit punch or stardew cider. Brandy maintains the same daily profit ratio as wine but benefits from improved efficiency in barrel usage.
