Greenman's ale

Greenman's ale is an ale that can be player-made through Brewing at level 29 Cooking, granting 281 experience per batch. When drunk, it heals 290 life points, and provides a temporary boost to the player's Herblore level of 1 for 60 seconds, at the cost of decreasing attack, strength and defence. It can be bought from the bartender in Yanille for 10 coins (only 1 at a time after a short dialogue). It can also be bought from Jossik at the Lighthouse after Horror from the Deep, for 2 coins each with a stock of 10, as well as from Rasolo for the same price and with the same stock as Jossik.

The full recipe for Greenman's ale is:
 * 1) 2 Buckets of water
 * 2) 2 Barley malt.
 * 3) (optional) 1 "The stuff", to increase chance of maturity.
 * 4) 4 Clean harralander
 * 5) 1 Ale yeast
 * 6) Wait two to five days
 * 7) Collect the completed ale using eight Beer glasses or two Calquat kegs.

Uses
This item is a necessary item for the beginning quest of Recipe for Disaster. It is also featured in the Construction skill. At level 26 Construction and level 29 Cooking, players can construct a Greenman's ale barrel in the kitchen of the player's POH, using 8 glasses of Greenman's ale and 3 oak planks. A barrel of ale gives unlimited glasses of that ale; unfortunately, this ale cannot be taken outside the POH (it vanishes). Servants such as Rick and Maids can also serve this ale if the player selects Drinks under the Serve option.

This ale can be useful to players practicing Herblore. As it boosts the players Herblore level when drunk, it allows players to make potions and clean herbs that they would otherwise not be able to, as well as allowing players to start the quest While Guthix Sleeps with 64 Herblore instead of the required 65.

There is no additional colour change for The stuff being added.
