I'd like to report a bug/problem I've been having with the latest 'Dwarf Fortress 40_19 Starter Pack r2' release. The problem is that I'm unable to brew anything at all at the still.

In the 'z' -> 'Kitchen' options, there's no option for brewing. It just says '-----' (cooking is working). I've made sure to have lots of empty/free barrels and made sure that no plants were located in bags (read that it could 'cause problems).



I understand that having graphic packs might corrupt the raw data somehow. So I installed a complete fresh copy of 'Dwarf Fortress 40_19 Starter Pack r2' and disabled the graphic mods in the .init file and also turned of all utility programs, even DFHack. But that solved nothing (been reinstalling it several times with different settings trying to get it to work).



I don't know if I'm doing something completely wrong or just missing something. But it feels that the default settings in 'Dwarf Fortress 40_19 Starter Pack r2' should work. Since it's there to make things easier.



Sorry if this has been posted earlier. Could't find anything here about it.



Thanks for reading.



**EDIT** Just wanted to add that this is not just on a specific save. The problem percists through all my world gens and installations of 'Dwarf Fortress 40_19 Starter Pack r2' with the default settings.



**SOLVED** Did some more thural testing with the bags and it turned out that they are the problem. Putting all the bags in my fortress to 'Forbid' unlocked the 'Brew' option in the kitchen menu.
