Brews are recorded by inventory observation: potion, effects, value, ingredients used. The alchemy interface is not modified; the journal is a separate window.
Opens beside the alchemy menu, or anywhere with a hotkey (default B; rebindable in Options -> Controls). Mortar and pestle carried: the same hotkey opens the alchemy menu itself, from anywhere. Three views: Potions, Experiment, Ingredients.
Optional integration with Alchemy Redone: Potions | Poisons brew modes; runs in vanilla mode without it.

[]Value, ingredient cost, profit computed live from current skill, attributes, carried apparatus[/]

[]Per-recipe Brewed / Failed counters; apparatus calculator tests rigs against the formula[/]
