Brewing : The Forgotten Skill

Raise your hand if you've ever tried brewing in Runescape. Hmm.. I don't see too many hands. Since I've gotten into Construction, I decided that I wanted a Chef's Delight barrel instead of the standard issue dragon bitter barrel. Looking through the forums, I saw that people were selling chef's delight for.. How much? 60, 70, 80, 100k+?!?! Wow, that's a lot of dough for a few beers, how hard could it be to brew some of my own? The answer is, it's not really hard, it just tales a little time and the brewery locations aren't terribly convenient. Here's what I do:

The best way that I know of to get to the Keldegrim brewery is to teleport to the Burthorpe Games Room and then take the mine cart. That said, this is what you should have in your inventory:

Burthorpe Games Necklace
Ectophial (you can hit the port p brewery next)
1000 coins (you'll need to pay for the mine cart ticket, some yeast, and you'll probably want to buy some beers for the glasses)
2 buckets of water
2 barley malts (Grow barley in a hops patch and then use it on a range)
4 chocolate powder (You can buy chocolate powder/bars in the gnome stronghold or from the Culimancer's chest if you've done enough of the Recipe for Disaster quest)

After you take the mine cart to Keldegrim, the brewery will be just north (it's in the bar, upstairs, and is marked with a barrel icon).

There's a pot sitting on a table in the brewey, grab it.
Talk to the man and buy some yeast.
Use a bucket of water on the vat.
Use a barley malt on the vat.
Use a chocolate powder on the vat.
Use your pot of yeast on the vat.

That's it, now all you have to do is wait. You can tell when your chef's delight is done by looking at the vat, it will say something like, "This vat contains chef's delight". When the delight is done, click on the "pipe" to fill the barrel.

If you try to empty the vat before the delight is ready, it will ask you if you are sure. Click "No" or your batch will be lost.

You will need 8 empty beer glasses when it is time to collect your delight, these can be purchased for 2 coins each from the bartender downstairs (buy beers and then drink them). Buy some extra glasses while you are at it if you plan on collecting delight in Port P as you cannot get glasses there.

Ecto to port P and head to the bank.

Grab your ghostspeak amulet, 5 ecto tokens, 2 buckets of water, 2 barley malts, and 4 chocolate dust. Make sure you still have the pot you grabbed in Keldegrim.

The brewery is downstairs in the bar. Once you are there, trade your 5 ecto tokens for some yeast. Use the same process that you used in Keldegrim to start the brewing process.

The shop in Port P is a good place to buy buckets, buy a bunch if you need them.

Sometimes you will end up with "mature" chef's delight. This gives a better cooking bonus but cannot be used to make a chef's delight barrel.

I easily sell chef's delight for 80k per set of 8.
