Valheim Fermenter recipe

The Fermenter in Valheim is a Bronze-Age structure that can be crafted using the Hammer tool. You can craft a Fermenter with this recipe:

Valheim Fermenter too exposed

A Fermenter in Valheim has to be sheltered before you can use it, just like aWorkbench.

If you get a message saying “Fermenter too exposed” when you try to interact with it, then you’ll need to either move the Fermenter to a more sheltered area, or build a roof and some walls around the Fermenter until you can use it.

Valheim Fermenter time

A Fermenter is used to ferment mead bases that you’ve crafted in aTin Cauldron. Once you’ve crafted the mead base of your choosing, just take it to the Fermenter and interact with the Fermenter to place the mead base inside.

Once a Fermenter has finished its cycle, it will hold the finished products until you return to the Fermenter and interact with it again. At this point it will spit its finished products onto the floor. A single mead base creates 6 finished products of the same type.

How to make Tasty Mead and other Meads

Tasty Mead is a powerful consumable in Valheim which halves your HP regeneration rate but triples your Stamina regeneration rate for 10 seconds. This makes it a great tool to use while in combat against many or tough foes which require lots of stamina to defeat.

The “Mead Base: Tasty” item will make 6 Tasty Meads once placed in the Fermenter. Here’s how to make the Tasty Mead Base in the Cauldron:

Of course, there are lots of other mead bases you can craft in the Cauldron and then turn into meads in the Fermenter. Here are all the recipes for the different mead bases in Valheim:

Mead base: Minor healing(product restores 50 HP over 10 seconds):

Mead base: Medium healing(product restores 75 HP over 10 seconds):

Mead base: Minor stamina(product restores 80 Stamina):
