You need a Fermenter and Brewing Station to ferment an alcoholic beverage, and you can acquire them by completing a quest at Morgantown. The first thing you need to do is head to your nearest train station and interact with the Party Poster. This will unlock a quest that invites you to a frat party in Morgantown. You can access the “Attend the fraternity party” quest in the miscellaneous section. Once activated, you can locate the quest on the map.

After entering the house, you’ll see that the frat party is over, and you must find a bottle of Vintage Nukashine and drink it to progress with the quest. It is a blue, glowing bottle that can easily be located because of its color.

For the next part, go to Big Al’s Tattoo Parlor and enter from the back door. Once you're in, look for the Nuka Cola fridge, which is an entrance to the basement. After you are inside the basement, search for a robot named BIV inside the employee's room.

The drunk robot will give you a quest, requiring you to collect various items such as Razorgrain and Corn to prepare Nukashine. You will have to fight various beasts during this quest, so be prepared with a great build.

Once you finish the quest, return to BIV, prepare Nukashin using the Brewing Station and the Fermenter, and give it to him. Congratulations, you have finally unlocked the Fermenter and Brewing Station. You can set it up in your C.A.M.P. to brew and ferment any alcoholic beverage you want.
