Doloc Town Brewing Cask Guide – How to Make Beer & Wine

Brewing Cask recipe and unlock in Doloc Town, the full beer and wine list (Hop, Grape, Agave, Eden Fruit, Rice), ferment times and the Aging Rack.

The Brewing Cask is the fermentation workstation: put one specific crop in, wait, and get a drinkable beverage. It costs 30 Wood, 2 Copper Ingot and 2 Resin at the Equipment Workbench, and unlocks at Fermentation Technology in the Life tech tree.

Every beverage has an Aged version made with the Aging Rack. All times recorded in the research are in-game hours from published guides and are not confirmed against real-time conversion.

The research does not confirm whether the Big and Large names refer to the same machine in the current build. Neoseeker lists a Big Brewing Cask, while the recipe database lists a Large Brewing Cask with the same materials. The published guide puts the upgrade under Large-Scale Fermentation.

Blueberries do not brew. Players assumed they would, and the Steam community plus the recipe database agree that only Hops, grapes, agave and rice go into the cask.

Time conversion unconfirmed

Ferment times above are game-hours recorded in the published guide. The conversion to real time and the in-game length of one day were not confirmed in the research, so treat these numbers as guide records that may change with patches.

The Aging Rack itself is built at the Equipment Workbench from 50 Wood, 10 Rockwood and 1 Metal Frame, and unlocks at Cellar I (Life tree, 4 Tool Operation + 1 Field Study). Aged drinks use the matching base beverage as the input.

Big / Large Brewing Cask

Sources use two names for the upgraded cask: Big Brewing Cask and Large Brewing Cask. The materials and unlock node are consistent, but the research cannot confirm that both names are the same machine in the 1.00.02 UI. Until the in-game name is verified, treat Big / Large Brewing Cask as one upgrade tier with an unresolved label, and check the in-game UI before updating old guides.

FAQ

  • What can go in the Brewing Cask? Hop, Grape, Agave, Eden Fruit and Rice — each gives its own beverage.
  • Can you brew blueberries? No. Community reports and the recipe database list only the five crops above.
  • How do you unlock the Brewing Cask? Craft it at the Equipment Workbench with 30 Wood, 2 Copper Ingot and 2 Resin, after unlocking Fermentation Technology in the Life tech tree.
  • What is the Large/Big Brewing Cask? The upgraded cask (25 Rockwood, 2 Steel Ingot, 5 Plastic, Large-Scale Fermentation). Sources use both names; the in-game 1.00.02 label still needs verification.
Version note

Updated for version 1.00.02 (full release, August 2026). Ferment and aging times are guide records in in-game hours; real-time conversion and the final UI naming for the upgraded cask remain unconfirmed.
