There are five types of fermented beverages: wine, cider, mead, sake, and beer. Each of these has both healing and nutritional value, and each involves multiple steps in production. The cask (antałek) is used for the fermentation of other healing liquids made with the cheese press or bucket. Casks must be built inside stone, brick, or marble buildings, and all cask projects are automated, requiring either 10 or 20 days for fermentation. The production of each of these 5 foods is described below.

Wine

Made of fermented grape juice, which comes from crushing grapes in the cheese press. The grape juice is left to ferment in the cask for 20 days, yielding wine, which can be eaten for nutrition at 100 grams per day, or consumed as a healing food at a rate of 16.02 grams per 1% damage.

Cider

Made of fermented apple juice, which comes from crushing apples in the cheese press. The apple juice is left to ferment in the cask for 20 days, yielding cider, which can be eaten for nutrition at 100 grams per day, or consumed as a healing food at a rate of 19.45 grams per 1% damage.

Mead

Made by fermenting honey that has been clarified with water in a bucket. The clarified honey is left to ferment in the cask for 20 days, yielding mead, which can be eaten for nutrition at 100 grams per day, or consumed as a healing food at a rate of 14.29 grams per 1% damage.

Sake

Made by fermenting amazake, which comes from rice that has been polished in a millstone or manual graingrinder, the polished rice then filtered with water in a bucket. The amazake is left to ferment in the cask for 10 days, yielding sake, which can be eaten for nutrition at 62 grams per day, or consumed as a healing food at a rate of 45.45 grams per 1% damage.

Beer

Made by fermenting wort, which is made from barley that has been malted in the bucket, the malted barley then mashed in the cheese press. The wort is left to ferment in the cask for 10 days, yielding beer, which can be eaten for nutrition at 40 grams per day, or consumed as a healing food at a rate of 76.92 grams per 1% damage.

A comparison of the nutrition and healing values of these foods follows.

grapes: 44.64g heals 1%
grape juice: 26.60g heals 1%
wine: 16.02g heals 1%; eaten at 100g per day

apples: 87.72g heals 1%
apple juice: 43.86g heals 1%
cider: 19.45g heals 1%; eaten at 100g per day

honey: 33.33g heals 1%
clarified honey: 22.22g heals 1%
mead: 14.29g heals 1%; eaten at 100g per day

rice: eaten at 166g per day
polished rice: eaten at 116g per day
amazake: eaten at 62g per day
sake: 45.45g heals 1%; eaten at 62g per day

barley: inedible raw
malt: inedible raw
wort: inedible raw
beer: 76.92g heals 1%; eaten at 40g per day
