Casks in the basement not working?

[𝕾𝖆𝖙𝖆𝖓]

So I upgraded my house and the casks in the basement seem to be useless. I just had a blueberry harvest and wanted to add them to the casks, but it just doesn't seem to work. I tried removing and re-placing a cask, but I simply can't get the blueberries in there. Anyone delt with something like this before? I don't recall having that issue with my previous saves.

The casks in your basement are step 3 in the process. Casks don't work with raw product.

Step 1 is planting and harvesting your crops, in this case blueberries.
Step 2 is throwing the blueberries into kegs to make wine.
Step 3 is throwing that wine in the basement casks to age it up to iridium quality.

Edit: Casks work with cheese too.

...and ale.

You have to turn it into wine first before you can put it inside your cask to age it.

Basically the only items you can put into casks are wine, beer, cheese (regular and goat), mead and pale ale.

At least you didn't spend a whole in-game week crafting 100+ casks and putting it into a shed where it doesn't work (only works in the basement). I wasted so much time doing that.

I don't recall able to age any fruit harvest without turning them to Artisan goods first in previous game version. Also IRL, is there Aged Fruit? I only heard of Dried Fruit. You sure you are not trying to put it in a Dehydrator?

I would reason that aged fruit is just fruit that has been left to ripen.

I don't know, if you let fruit age too much, it will start to rot. So, i guess, aged fruit = rotten fruit.

Okay, I get where things went wrong. The casks look ALMOST the same as the thing one would make preserves in. That's a bit of a letdown. Not gonna lie.
