Some cauldrons can be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand(smallest servings of potions) while others can comfortably fit a large human(used for commercial brewing, and rarely seen in households)
3 common materials for cauldrons in Great Britain-Pewter, brass, and copper
Pewter is best for beginning potion work because it is the slowest and less expensive than standard cauldrons. Pewter is a metal alloy (at least 2 metals) usually at least 85% of tin with either copper, bismuth, antimony, and sometimes lead making up the rest of its composition. Earlier pewter cauldron dates back to 1450 BCE in an ancient tomb
Brass brews at medium speed and a little more expensive than that pewter. Good for intermediate witches and wizards. Approximately 10x faster than pewter. Metal alloy composed of zinc and copper. Metals found in western part of Asia and East Mediterranean dating as far back as the third millennium before the common era.
Copper is the fastest brewing cauldron material. Brews 10x faster than brass cauldrons. Only skilled witches and wizards should use this type of cauldron. Not an alloy but it is a pure chemical element containing atoms of all one type. Evidence that it was used as far back as 9-10,000 years ago.
Gold and silver may be used occasionally. Silver is the best to use with the least likelihood of brewing failure as well as a smooth, easy brewing time.
Station will include scales, measuring cups, ruler, and a sharp knife plus a cutting board. Also a stirring utensil.
Always have cauldron cleaner and gragon-hide gloves and goggles.
Self-heating cauldron exist and keep a steady temperature while brewing.
You can use the siphoning charm to help put the potion in the phial
TBT stands for total brew time
EBT stands for estimated brew time
Moon phases and celestial alignment impact the expression of ingredients full capabilities
