Brewing Stand now requires Blaze Powder to activate
From the wiki:
"Each blaze powder used as fuel provides 20 fuel points. It costs 1 fuel point to start brewing one ingredient; this fuel point is not recovered if the brewing is halted due to removing the ingredient or the potions being brewed into." The original edit was done by http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/User:Anomie_x, who is a user. Remember also that the job of wiki editors is to describe details about the game, not to relay information from developers or suggest changes.
Whether it is a bug or not that it is used before the brewing action finishes, destroying the charge doesn't seem consistent. As FVbico has said, furnaces use a similar mechanic, yet function differently as explained in the report. I would assume it was created like a furnace (adds fuel and constantly decreases it regardless of contents) and changed later when it was realized that encouraging 20 action batches (<=60, >=12 potions) would be a bit strange.
