2 months ago I think Brewerys original authors added this bacause their idea was to have players figure out the exact recipes, which would not really work without this, as players could just leave a lot of different drinks in a barrel and check them out much mich later.
Anyway, I feel like this should be toggle-able for those, who don't wat this to be a thing. I'll keep this in mind and either update BreweryX at some time to do that, or make sure that this will be possible with it's rewrite, at least :)
Drinks lose quality when they have been aged past their recipe requirements. This doesn't make sense realistically since the longer a drink sits in a barrel, the better it should get. At some point alcohol does go bad, but that happens over literal millennia. I'd say make the aging requirement not "as close to" the given value but "this or greater".
