you probably did help someone but there was a bug in the previous public release where you weren't able to ask for a house brew in general that bug has been fixed in the newest version however
It's supposed to give you an option to ask for it when you ask for a drink from the bartender but for some reason it's not working but according to the patreon changes its supposed to be fixed later
You need to talk to fawn Lin Lin Arleen and you need to conplete most of the fawn and Cassie routes if it doesn't work look all other the new ark city area for any characters with a name (rinny and other NPC's not in that general area are useless for this)
Just as a theory it could work like the living underwear and the flute with a vibrator that doesn't work on it's own and a remote then you use the remote kind of like the flute and choose a setting and each one gives different intervals
None of the ones you purchase first are the one but they have a chance of working if you go to Lin Lin a counterfeit card will fall out of your pocket and she will show you where to get a quality one for 500 credits
