Need help with brewing potions please

[Adeptus Lebowski]

I'm trying to make a padfoot potion and the youtube video is 6 years old. He pulls the bellows 4 times per turn but when i do it the fire lasts twice as long lol. How many times do i need to use the bellows for a full turn of boiling please? Otherwise I think I have everything else sorted thanks

heres from the wiki.

Note: From a cold start, one pull of the bellow is considered "cook", 2 consecutive pulls is "simmer", three consecutive pull of the bellow is "boil". This wiki previously INCORRECTLY stated that "each pull is 1 turn". This is wrong, use the hourglass to keep the time and pay close attention to the animation to keep potion at correct heat level. If you can not get 3 potions from level 0 alchemy, you made a mistake.

hmm ok thanks. I think i was doing 4 pulls from the vid so that was the mistake then. I'll try again once i have the materials.

I hope that worked for you. If you get stuck again you could try this, recipes in plain english and it says how many pulls are needed.

You need to add water, drop in the codweb and the eyebright, pull 5 times, grind the valarian , add the vallarian when the bubbles stop, pull till you get the bubbles back(should be one or 2 times). Then grand the chamomile and add it when there are no more bubbles.

If you want to know how many pulls you need, it usually is 3 pulls for one turn, 4 for 2 turns and 5 for 3 turns if you start cold.
Or you can pull until you see bubbles, and pull once extra for each extra turn you need.

Follow the instruction in the book... Tells you how to make each potion

[thommikel]

4 pulls to boil for one turn, 2 pulls for each additional turn needed.

[Adeptus Lebowski]

what works for me is 3 pulls and then 1 every half turn

Am i the only one that just watches when the fire starts to die, then pulls as a turn based on that?
It don't know if its correct or not, but it works.

I was happy to just get one potion and grind alchemy out that way. Much easier.

There's also a guide here on steam that tells you how to powerlevel alchemy (you can make mistakes and skip steps and still get a potion).

Wait for the timer to run out, even if the flames die a moment before

There ya go. Just long enough to boil. 4 pumps should do it. Use that guide, it makes brewing significantly easier and faster.
