Brandy....w-what?

[Cannon Fodder]

Why do you need wine to make Brandy??

You use fruit, normally apples, and distill the alcohol from its fermentation.
At least with the old system you could pick a fruit, this just makes it "Grape wine...with extra steps" and calls it something else. This isn't Brandy, lmfao.

brandy is distilled from both fermented fruit as well as from wine.

i'll agree with you though, im not a fan of this change.

I mean brandy is made with wine in real life... I sell alcohol for a living but it can be made with fruit also

I wasn't aware it was done both ways. But it begs the question; why'd they remove one way that it's normally done, to add the other way, instead of leaving both...

Because fruit is featured in many recipes in the game. Dishes, juices, flavored beers and more cocktails. Wine in comparison was far behind, so we wanted a complex elaboration that could be made from wine.

Also not a fan of this change.

It would be nice if Brandy could be made from wine OR fruit in order to make the recipe more flexible. (it could have a price difference between the two)
Unless the sell price of brandy is drastically higher than wine I don't know if i'll be crafting it.

p.s. about Vodka - Please give the recipe the flexibility to use a grain OR potato to craft it.
I'm always in favor of having more than one ingredient able to be used to craft drinks.

Thanks for your consideration.

yeah maybe with your 0.6.5 patch but not before that where you could add to drinks freely.
