Not sure if this is a bug, or I'm messing up somehow.
Far as I can tell, it should be working. My alchemy is 80. I have a master mortar and pestle. I read the book with the recipe. Both recipes just make regular beer.
I'm confused. Even though I got a book with the recipe for it as a quest reward, I can't make it without an expansion? Why is the recipe in the game if it can't be used?
