Brewing is one of the core systems in Yeast ‘n Feast. Using the Keg block, you combine ingredients, yeast, and a tankard to produce mead — a drinkable item that grants a powerful mob effect when consumed. There are six base mead varieties split across three categories, each tied to a distinct combat or survival buff. Mead stacks to 8 and returns a Tankard when drunk.Documentation Index

The three mead categories
Every mead in Yeast ‘n Feast belongs to one of three flavour families. The category determines the mob effect the mead grants when you drink it.Sweet meads
Grant Resistance II for 6:00. Reduce incoming damage — strong for tanking hits or exploring dangerous areas.
Sour meads
Grant Strength II for 6:00. Increase melee damage output — best for combat-heavy play.
Floral meads
Grant Regeneration II for 4:00. Rapidly restore health — ideal for recovery after tough fights.
How brewing works
All mead is produced inside the Keg, a craftable block with a dedicated GUI. You load up to three ingredient slots with the mead’s flavour components, place Yeast in the yeast slot, and a Tankard in the container slot. The Keg processes the recipe over time and deposits finished mead into the output slot.Craft a Keg
Build the Keg at a crafting table. This also unlocks the Keg Stand advancement. See the Keg page for the full recipe and slot layout.
Gather ingredients
Collect the flavour ingredients for the mead you want to brew. Common inputs include honey, molasses, elderberries, hawthorn berries, rose hips, and thornberries. You also need Yeast and at least one Tankard.
Load the Keg and wait
Open the Keg GUI, fill the ingredient and dedicated slots, and wait for the progress bar to complete. Brew time is set per recipe — check JEI for exact durations.
