The '''fermenting vat''' is [[Examine|examinable]] [[scenery]] containing ingredients that ferment together to make [[moonlight mead]]. The process and steps for [[brewing]] are detailed on its own page.

The five variations of moonlight mead fermenting vats corresponds to a specific step in the brewing process:
# Prior to adding [[ale yeast]], the vat contains two [[bucket of water|buckets of water]], two [[barley malt]], optionally [[the stuff]], and four [[mushroom]]s.
# After [[ale yeast]] is added, the contents of the vat will begin to ferment.
# Though still in the fermentation process, part way through process the contents advance a stage and are partially fermented.
# Upon completion the contents turn into either normal moonlight mead, [[moonlight mead (m)|mature moonlight mead]], or [[bad ale]]. The chance it becomes mature is normally 5%, but with the stuff added it becomes about 64%.

Turning the nearby [[Valve (brewing)|valve]] drains the vat's contents into the nearby [[Barrel (brewing)|empty barrel]] so that the [[Moonlight Mead (barrel)|barrel of moonlight mead]] or [[Mature Moonlight Mead (barrel)|barrel of mature moonlight mead]] can be drained or emptied into [[beer glass]]es or [[calquat keg]]s, producing a total of 8 pints.
