I am going to try and make homemade root beer
A previous attempt as a young man went in a very disgusting way.
I shall now correct the mistakes of my youth. |
Send some my way, if you don't mind.
Actually, you've inspired me to try to make my own. My hope would be that it turns out even just a modicum as good as what my uncle used to make when I was a kid. |
If you are successful, please post.
We tried once also. Disgusting. |

No dry ice. Yeast. Ultimately I would like to have a co2/water carbonator , or co2 injector at the point of delivery. We will see what the missus allows. |

My grandma used to make it alot when I was a kid. That is what she had for my grandpa to drink when he came in for lunch when he worked the ranch. He switched to rootbeer from beer when he was called as bishop. |
We made that all the time when I was a kid. I acquired a taste for it. A few years ago my wife found a bottle capper in her grandmother's house. We scrounged up some old bottles and ordered tom caps on the internet and whipped up a batch. The kids thought it was gross, but we liked it.

Have you done this? Did it work?
I don't really care for root beer generally, but made with yeast sounds really icky. |

So far we are using store-bought extracts. To that we combine a bit of honey, refined sugar, and homemade vanilla extract. I don't know that we've put in enough vanilla extract for me to taste it. Funny thing is that the more vanilla extract I put in, the more vodka I am adding! There goes the non-alcoholic thing (although the amount is presumably minimal).
The next spice I am think of adding is cloves. Make a bit of liquid clove extract and add, to create more of a deep spice flavor on top of the normal root beer flavors. We shall see. |
