Brewing?, "Distilling"? in GURPS 4/e as a Skill?
Help Me fellow GURPS-sters!
I thought I KNEW the system - but have now come up 'blank' or empty on something a player has requested. Is there a 'Brewing' skill ? or some version of Distilling or 'making a still' skill in GURPS 4/e ? In my ongoing G: STAR TREK campaign a player asked me to add 'Brewing' to his character's list of skills. I said 'Okay, it will be there next time at default level or 1 cp spent level. Then I looked in the CHARACTERS book - and I couldn't find any way to do that. Have I missed the skill or its approximation? Am I blind? If its not 'there', what is the best way to approximate a character that has made a 'still'? The character would be doing that in the Engineering section of a starship. How do I approximate his character figuring out a way to make Homebrewed beer? - Ed C.

Hmm. not in Taverns either. Ill check Low tech later.
But I would say Professional Skill Brewer, making a still could use Mechanic which an engineer is likely to have already and Brewing could default off Chemistry.

Low-Tech Companion 3 puts forth Professional Skill (Brewer) and Professional Skill (Distiller); Brewer defaults to Cooking-3, which is probably what most homebrewers will be working from.

I have a couple of characters that have the Hobby: Home-Brewing (Root Beer) skill.

...or you can use chemistry like in breaking bad.

I agree with Ed. I'd say a Hobby Skill would fit the engineer who has a still hidden behind the dilithium flux exchange.

Walt uses Chemistry (Crystals) to make Meth, Hank uses Hobby (Home Brewing) to make beer.

So long as there's no leak from the flux exchange into the engine room still to give it a stronger kick than alcohol itself will give. :)
