'''Permanent Brew''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It upgrades~~ the Alchemist's ~~buffs - both~~ [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] and [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]] ~~- to become permanent instead of lasting only a limited time. Only newly thrown AMDs and brews are permanent~~, ~~and brews cannot affect targets that already have a brew of any kind. If Permanent Brew~~ is sold or sacrificed, ~~all towers lose~~ the ~~buffs it had applied~~.

Permanent Brew is a very potent T5 for permanent [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]] and [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] buffs to large amounts of towers surrounding this Alchemist; each tower essentially gains +2 damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class with extra pierce, attack speed, and range. It's quite an expensive T5, but with an effective ~~mid-game saveup, this~~ can be afforded in [[CHIMPS]] in time for the mid-80's on most maps. It stands out the most on Least Cash ~~Bosses~~, which demand an army of cheap highly buffable towers against all ~~Boss~~ stages, and extreme Freeplay, which ~~demand~~ maximum buffs on every tower on screen.

Permanent Brew is an expensive upgrade, but with an effective midgame it can be afforded in [[CHIMPS]] in time for the mid-80's on most maps. It stands out the most on Least Cash [[Boss Events]], which demand an army of cheap, highly buffable towers against all stages, and extreme [[Freeplay]], which demands maximum buffs on every tower on screen. Some strong candidates for Permanent Brew include: {{BTD6|Sun Avatar}}, 3-1-0 {{BTD6|Destroyer}}, {{BTD6|Bloonjitsu}} with {{BTD6|Shinobi Tactics}}, and 2-0-4 {{BTD6|Overdrive}}.

Despite its low range and the ~~restriction of not selling or sacrificing~~ to retain its buff, there are multiple ways to ~~counter this~~. The simplest is [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|~~Support Chinook~~]]; it ~~allows the Permanent Brew to be moved without~~ towers ~~losing~~ its ~~buff~~. ~~[[Dark Knight (~~BTD6)|Dark Knight]] and above can also be moved around the map to keep adding new targets later on. A few maps do have movable platforms that can allow Permanent Brew to keep finding new targets, with a notable example being [[Geared]]'s ~~smaller~~ gear.

Despite its low range and the inability to retain its buff when sold or sacrificed, there are multiple ways to apply its buffs widely across a map. The simplest is to use {{BTD6|Support Chinook}} or {{BTD6|Dan D'Monke}}'s Reposition ability to move it. [[Deadeye]] or [[Bounty Hunter]]'s Take Aim abilities improve its range temporarily, enough so that it can target additional towers outside its normal range. {{BTD6|Dark Knight}} and above can also be moved around the map to keep adding new targets later on. A few maps do have movable platforms that can allow Permanent Brew to keep finding new targets, with a notable example being [[Geared]]'s small inner gear.

~~Crosspathing with~~ Permanent Brew largely ~~doesn't matter,~~ as its ~~brews are permanent anyway. However~~, ~~in a~~ time-sensitive ~~situation~~ such as Boss Events~~, [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Alchemist)|Faster Throwing]] is the optimal crosspath, so it can brew all nearby towers faster~~.

Versus [[Lych (BTD6)|Lych]], the buff can still work before Tier 5, as Lych has limited buff-stealing range until then.

Permanent Brew largely does not require a crosspath as none of them will affect the potency of its buffs, but {{BTD6|Faster Throwing|Alchemist}} can be optimal for time-sensitive scenarios such as Boss Events.
