How to Age Drinks in Barrels and Create Rare Variants

Crafting and Placing Aging Barrels

Construct an aging barrel using wood planks of your choice—oak, birch, spruce, and other wood types each produce different aged variants. Place the barrel in your brewing area where it can sit undisturbed.

Storing Your Distilled Drinks

Take your distilled bottle (preferably high-star rated for best results) and place it inside the aging barrel. The barrel will begin the aging process automatically. Each wood type imparts unique flavor characteristics to your base drink, creating rare and exclusive variants.

Waiting for Maturation

Aging requires several in-game days to complete. The exact duration depends on the drink type and wood used. During this time, leave the barrel undisturbed—the aging happens passively as time progresses.

Harvesting Your Aged Brew

Once aging completes, interact with the barrel to retrieve your finished aged drink. You can also attach a tap to the barrel for a decorative pouring option.
