Homemade Rootbeer

This is not really a 'recipe' but directions and hints for making Homemade Rootbeer. There are really two methods of adding carbonation to rootbeer. Many 'mature' people have memories of dad making rootbeer and putting the bottles in the basement to 'cure'. In that system he put a little yeast in the brew and sealed it in bottles. As the yeast fermented, it gave off carbon dioxide and in the sealed bottle, it built up pressure - sometimes too much! Our system is much simpler and works very well in large volume but it is only for a situation where you are making and serving the rootbeer at the same time. This is especially good for parties and family or church gatherings.

What you will need to make 5 gallons:

• 2 oz bottle of Rootbeer Extract or Concentrate (available at just about all grocery stores in the spice area)
• 5 lb white sugar
• 4 3/4 gallons Water
• 3 to 4 lbs dry ice (Break up the dry ice into chunks one or two inches diameter. Many grocery stores have dry ice)
• about 1/2 gallon ice (regular - preferably crushed or flaked)

Instructions:

• Add the sugar into the water and then the rootbeer extract - mix very well
• Pour up to 2 gallons (not more) into the container you will be serving from.
• We use a container with a spigot Add some regular ice to bring the temperature down. Let it 'brew' for about 5 to 10 minutes! Enjoy!
