A barrel is finally ready at the Carpenter's workshop.

I do not understand what the following message at the still exactly means, when wanting to 'Brew drink from plant':

'unwritten drink mat producing plants (drink mat drinks 5)
empty food storage item (seed mat seeds)'

I have plenty of different kinds of plants

[Arcvasti]

I suspect that the barrel is the bottleneck here. Likely some well meaning dwarf decided that your drinks barrel needed to be filled with seeds or plump helmets. Make more barrels[Or better, large stone pots] and the problem should more or less be resolved.

The quote(s?) is screwed up. It should be unROTTEN.
The line(s) in red are the ones whose conditions are not met.

If neither is met and you have the items available, you should check that it's possible to move between the storage locations and the still (a legal path available), and that you don't have any stockpile links to the still (such as linking a plant stockpile but not a barrel one, and barrels in the plant stockpile are claimed by that stockpile, not available for brewing).

Apart from that yes, barrels/pots are claimed by food stockpiles unless you explicitly remove barrels from those stockpiles, so you need to produce quite a few barrels/pots to keep up with demand.

A good method to ensure you always have some empty barrels available for booze, is to press 'p' '*' '*' '*' '*'. That will reserve four empty barrels/pots. Then as you build a few more barrels, the stockpiles will not claim them and they will be available for booze.

Same trick, for bins, with tad higher number, enables one to not worry about disabling bins on every binning stockpile or not making/buying them.
