Configure a muc component in your XMPP server that will be used for the brewery rooms. If your server is Prosody: edit /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua or the appropriate file in /etc/prosody/conf.d and append following lines to your config.

Component "internal.auth.[your_domain_name]" "muc"
   storage = "memory"
   modules_enabled = {
     "ping";
   }
   admins = { "focus@auth.[your_domain_name]", "jigasi@auth.[your_domain_name]" }
   muc_room_locking = false
   muc_room_default_public_jids = true
