• The alembic should function similar to a brewing stand, but the products should appear elsewhere (probably in phial rack or glass receiver)
• Alembic will need to check for the presence of a phial rack nearby, then apply changes to the phial rack
• As the complexity of the mod increases, alembic will need to integrate with #9

Alembic will store the following data:

• Input item
• Heat (probably the proximity in blocks to a heat source)
• Maybe cooking duration

Alembic recipes will contain:

• Input ingredient
• Cooking duration
• Quantity of output as a volume
• Type of output, probably going to be the name of the "fluid" as a string. More than one form of this output could be created depending on what equipment is attached.
