The Ashery is used for creating potash and lye from ash. This building is really only necessary if the player wishes to create clear or crystal glass, fertilizer, or soap.
Lye is made by soaking the ashes in water to extract the water soluble part, the remaining solid ash is discarded by filtering or settling in a barrel and then drawing off the lye from the top. The active ingredient of lye is potassium hydroxide (a caustic strong alkali). Drying lye leaves potash (unrefined potassium oxide).
The caustic lye will break down tallow into soap and glycerin. The soap is retained while the glycerin is washed away when rinsing the soap to remove remaining lye.
The "make potash from ash" task combines the two steps into a single job for convenience. It only requires the "potash making" profession.
