The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is [[Crafting#Artisan Equipment|Artisan Equipment]] used to make [[Artisan Goods]]. It takes [[wine]] and [[cheese]] and ages them to increase their quality and value.
Normal, silver, and gold quality items can be prematurely removed from a cask at any time by striking the cask with an [[Axes|Axe]], [[Hoes|Hoe]], or [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]]. However, striking a cask with an [[Axes|Axe]], [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] or charged [[Hoes|Hoe]] when the cask is ready to harvest (with an iridium quality item) may crash the game.
Casks are able to produce items with "iridium star" quality. Iridium star is the highest level of quality, which doubles the value of an item. Different types of items take longer or slower to age. [[Wine]] takes the longest -- 2 seasons of aging to go from basic wine to iridium quality wine.
Casks can be placed anywhere, however , they will only accept goods to refine if they are actually in the [[Farmhouse#Upgrades|cellar]].
It's worth noting nothing that even with high-value goods such as Starfruit wine, the value gained from casks is comparatively low as an iridium-quality product is only double the original value, so maturing a bottle of starfruit wine will yield 2250g in 56 days, yielding only 40g per day per cask. The lack of maintenance required for casks means you can fill the cellar and forget about it for two seasons to get that little extra value, however.
