I am fairly new to DF (played a bit years ago but only started to play in earnest in the last month).

Is there a way to maintain a specific good in the supplies? Something like: Brew until ~60 drinks are available if it drops below replenish it.

I read a lot from the wiki and online but didn't find anything. I thought the manager would help with this.
I don't know enough if this is practical, but from a newbie perspective, this just creates a lot of micromanaging tasks.
I have to order to produce food, charcoal, drinks, and this just feels like distracting busy work.

If you have some good advice regarding this, please help me out. Thanks in advance.

yes, setup the manager in the nobles screen, get them a meager office(a throne in the middle of nowhere is sufficient), then (U)nits->(M)anager, there set up 10 drinks to brew brewn from plants, then press (C)onditions, and press (P)roducts to get a premade condition for it, the game will try to give a good default. You should probably also setup (R)eagents, and I'd also recommend setting up an order for rock pots or barrels if there's no empty drink bearing containers.

Thanks for the reply and tips. I tried to figure it out but I just couldn't.
