Hey
I haven't had any migrants for 2 seasons now, those being summer and autumn second year. I got 2 waves in summer and autumn of the first year and a huge wave in spring of second, but no more. I looked at the civilization screen and for some reason the dwarf outpost liaison has disappeared.

EDIT: Also, for some reason, whenever I tell my stills to make booze, the brewer goes to the still with the ingredient and leaves immediately. I might have queued up 10 orders and they all just disappear, no drinks made.

Hey
The wiki says:

Smaller migrant waves (2 to 10) seem typical in early seasons, followed by a large wave (low double digits) in the second Spring (one year after embark). Be prepared with adequate food, drink, and beds, among other things. Max wave size reported to date is 25.

I guess the size of the next wave depends on your exported wealth, which is the profit that the caravans make.

I looked at the civilization screen and for some reason the dwarf outpost liaison has disappeared.

Look on your unit list. I'm pretty sure he's somewhere there, probably marked as deseased 
If not, he probably died on his way to your fort or back to the mountainhomes. I don't know if you're going to get a new one...

No event in the 'a' screen? Like "cannot brew drink because blah"?
If you are playing 31.12 you should get a new liaison.

I am .12
And no, nothing in announcements... it's annoying. I'm trying various things such as reconstructing, nothing seems to work though. I activated plant gathering recently, could this have anything to do with it?

Try setting up your manager noble, and add the Brew Drink commands via that. Hopefully you will get a status message about what the problem is.

I might have a lack of barrels

Did you set your messages to not show job cancellations?

I might have a lack of barrels

That should cause a "could new brew drink: no empty barrels" message though..

Not if he switched that announcement off.

Migrants coming in summer and spring is only common in the first year - typically they only come in spring.
