Week 3-"Tools of the Trade"; Brewing Basics

Cauldron: A round almost bowl shaped container in which potions are brewed

• The materials that they are made of vary depending on what is most prevelant in rhe country


• In Great Britain the most common materials cauldrons are made of are pewter, brass, and copper
  
  
  
  • Pewter has the slowest brewing time and is best for beginners as there's more "wiggle room" regarding timing, so to speak
  
  
  • Brass cauldrons have a medium brewing speed and they are best for witches and wizards who have a good grasp on brewing times and methodology, but they are slightly more expensive than pewter
  
  
  • Copper has the fastest brewing time and only a skilled witch or wizard should use them as there is a increased chance of making a mistake
