How to Craft a Fermenter and Cauldron
Before you can start Fermenting meads and other recipes in Valheim, you will need to build a Fermenter, which requires a Charcoal Kiln, Smelter, and Forge to have been built, along with x30 Fine Wood, x5 Bronze, and x10 Resin to craft the actual Fermenter.
If you’re struggling to obtain Fine Wood or Bronze, consider checking out our step-by-step guides below for even more details.
Along with a Fermenter, you will also need a Cauldron to mix all of your potential meads together.
To craft the Cauldron – a key item that is needed to start the fermentation process – simply use your Hammer and select the Cauldron from the Building tab. You will need a total of x10 Tin in order to craft the recipe.
