Before initiating a brewing process, whether with or without a booster, it is wise to first determine your strategy. This allows you to consider which duration and token amount best suit your needs.\
\
For example, a 100 percent booster with a small amount of tokens might be more interesting in a 30-day brew than in a 7-day brew. This dynamic may change once you place more tokens in your Cauldron, as the yield will significantly surpass the claim fees. In the brew simulator, you can enter the following fields: "Booster bonus, Amount to put in the Cauldron, Number of brewing days, compounding days, and simulation days." This will generate output in the form of three charts, displaying the brewed principals, the bonus yield and the Longer Brews Better bonus, along with the optimal time for claiming and compounding.
