How to make the fermenter in Valheim

In short, use the fermenter you will need to craft one of the many kinds of mead in the game; once you have some mead made up, all you need do is place it inside the fermenter by pressing e while the mead is in your inventory.

 When you have placed the mead inside the fermenter, it will take a total of two full in-game days to ferment, which is about one hour of real-time. 

That said, here's what you will need to craft a fermenter below; you will also need a workshop to make the fermenter.

  • Forge: You will need to craft a forge to unlock the fermenter; you can craft a forge with the following materials: four stone, four coal, ten wood, and six copper bars. 
  • 5 Bronze: Craft bronze from both copper and tin inside a forge.  
  • 30 FineWood: chop down birch and oak trees to get finewood.
  • 10 Resin: Kill greydwarfs to get resin; you can find them spawning in both black forest and meadows biomes.
