When I first playing the quest 'Practicum in Advanced Alchemy' I thought the distillery was kind of fun but soon I realized it was only used once in the game and get abandoned again, such a waste for a interesting machine with ingenious functionality. So I came up with this idea that maybe Geralt will come back later and run a alcohol factory, and unlike the original quest, you will be able to brew all kinds of alcohols rather than only a quest moonshine spirit.

So, now here it is!
FEATURES
1.Tutorial Quest
After finishing the quest advanced alchemy, you will receive a new tutorial quest which will lead you to brew one custom alcohol back to the distillery.
Remember, this is only a tutorial. Actually you can brew spirits, beers, wines and white wines in the new alcohol factory of Gerry, cheers!
2.Recipes and Books
To brew a alcohol, you need first to make a mash corresponding to the alcohol type. By completing the quest advanced alchemy, you will automatically receive the recipe of spirit mash. To get other recipes like recipe for beer mash, wine mash and white wine mash, you need to read some specific books to learn the recipe, which means you need to buy those books somewhere.
book: Wine making process
book: How to Make White Wine
book: Beer Production Method Encyclopedia

3.Various Mashes
Spirit mash:
Wine mash:
White wine mash: 
Beer mash: 

4.Ingredients
Different mash recipes require different ingredients, some of which were added by this mod. You need to buy them in Inns, Bars or some other stores.
Barley: 
Hops: 
Wine grapes: 
White grapes: 

5.Brew Your Alcohols!
With the cooked mash, you can go to the distillery and brew the alcohols, you will get a random alcohol determined by the mash type. Just follow the instructions provided by the original quest.
There're some easter eggs to find out! Try brew as more as you can to find them!

The mod is made as a DLC and its mod part only contains a local script file, which means it won't conflict with any other mods.

CAUTION: You can't load saves with this DLC installed if you uninstall it, but only load saves before installing it or start a new one.

At last, I need to credit the BiA team, paulr0013MerseyRockoff and konyme. Thanks to them for answering all kinds of problems I met in the progress.
