Animal Brain is an animal part used to make leather. Its one job is tanning hides.
The brain is mixed with water in a bowl through the Make Bowl of Brain Tan recipe. That Bowl of Brain Tan is the tanning agent for the Tan Leather recipe at a Tannin Barrel. Every hide passes through that barrel on its way to finished leather.
A leatherworker needs one brain for every hide, so brains are worth saving. The Rancher is the best occupation for animal parts. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Uses
The Make Bowl of Brain Tan recipe takes one Animal Brain, a bowl and a small amount of water. It needs no station and no skill level. The result is a Bowl of Brain Tan.
The Tan Leather recipe then takes one Bowl of Brain Tan and one hide. It runs at a Tannin Barrel. Furred hides such as Angus Hide (Furred) become wet furred leather. Crude hides become wet crude leather. The empty Bowl is handed back for the next batch.
A Small Animal Brain does the same job in the Make Bowl of Brain Tan recipe. Either size makes one bowl, so a small animal can tan a large cow hide.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Animal Brain by its type rather than by name.

Notes
- One brain makes one Bowl of Brain Tan, which tans one hide.
- A Small Animal Brain works in the same recipe.
- The bowl needs a little water added before the brain tan can be made.
- Keeping brains on hand saves a trip when a fresh hide comes off the Softening Beam.
