HOMEMADE ROOT BEER
This Root beer is bound to be a hit at any gathering. It is very easy, ice cold and yummy. Use a large insulated drink cooler to brew it in, and everyone can help themselves using the spigot. This is best to do outdoors or place the cooler in the kitchen sink as it brews. Dry ice can be dangerous. Be sure to use gloves when handling. Do not allow children to handle the dry ice.

Steps:
- In a large cooler, mix together the sugar and water, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. Stir in the root beer extract. Carefully place the dry ice into the cooler, and cover loosely with the lid. Do not secure the lid, as pressure may build up.
- Let the mixture brew for about an hour before serving. Leftover root beer can be stored in one gallon milk jugs.

REAL HOMEMADE ROOT BEER
Real root beer, naturally carbonated: A strong taste without being harsh. As close as you can get to store-bought and still have all natural ingredients. The taste is much more honest than store-bought as well. The keys are your choice of flavorings and using yeast to naturally carbonate. This recipe produces just under 2 liters. I found this after searching the Web for the easiest version possible that uses no special equipment, just household items, although you have to search for suitable real root beer extract. To give proper credit, the basic recipe has been worked out by Dr. David B. Fankhauser, Ph.D. , Professor of Biology and Chemistry, U.C. Clermont College, Batavia OH. The recipe is a perfect demonstration of Henry's Law. Look it up. You must use fresh yeast, otherwise it won't be fizzy and it will taste like "skunky" beer that went bad. You can try increasing the yeast a tiny fraction to get more carbonation, but again, too much and it's like drinking from a bicycle tire. Use plain white granulated sugar. The sugar provides food for the yeast which makes the carbonation happen. I searched my neighborhood for root beer extract, no grocery or health food store had it. I finally ordered directly from Zatarain's from their web site. The bottle: Use a plastic 2-liter soda pop bottle with a resealable cap. CLEAN this thoroughly before using. Do NOT, for safety's sake, use a glass bottle. The funnel: A clean plastic funnel is best.

Steps:
- Use the funnel to pour the sugar in the bottle.
- Add the yeast.
- Toss the sugar and yeast around in the bottle so it mixes well. Just swish it around, don't shake it violently. Make it so there is a little depression in the center of the dry mixture.
- Add the root beer extract via the funnel.
- Add some of the water by pouring it over the tablespoon so get the extract residue into the bottle.
- Fill up the bottle about half way with some more water.
- Put the cover on the bottle and GENTLY swish to get the sugar/yeast mixture slightly dissolved.
- Add the rest of the water to about 1 to 1-1/2 inches from the top, then cap this TIGHTLY.
- Let stand in a cool place (65 to 72 degrees F) for three to four days.
- Do not shake the bottle or move it around unnecessarily. Leave it be.
- After about 24 hours of brewing itself, the bottle will start to feel hard as the pressure builds.
- After three/four days, the bottle should be very hard -- resist the urge to shake it up or open it, you will ruin your root beer. Place in refrigerator overnight. This arrests the yeast action.
- After chilling, decant into a glass and enjoy.
- Note: There will be leftover yeast in some sludge at the bottom of the bottle. Be careful decanting as you get to bottom of the bottle. That yeast will be skunky.
- Another note: The yeast is still working! Drink this up right away, keep it chilled.
HOMEMADE ROOT BEER (ROOTBEER)
Very fun recipe. Makes 5 gallons and is excellent for a large family gathering. I like to make on the 4th of July along with homemade vanilla icecream and everyone enjoys floats. Healthier than store bought! I've also posted the recipe for brewing your own root beer using the yeast method if you would like to try that instead!

Makes 5 gallons of naturally carbonated root beer. EXCELLENT for a large gathering (family reunion, graduation party, wedding reception, etc.). Also makes excellent gifts, just let the recipient know that these need to be consumed within a week. I make it for the 4th of July along with homemade ice cream and we all enjoy root beer floats! No preseratives, healthier than store bought. I have also posted an "instant" rootbeer recipe that uses dry ice for the carbonation step so you can drink it right away.

HOMEMADE ROOT BEER WITH DRY ICE
This was a mix of all the other recipies I found on the web. I learned that there was not exact method for making Root Beer, so I took what I thought was the best from every recipe. I have made it a few times and every one raves about it. I have also considered adding vanilla, so if you are feeling creative add some of that.

Steps:
- Add sugar to water and stir until dissolved then add Root Beer flavoring.
- Add dry ice a few minutes before serving.
- The cane sugar gives it a creamy flavor. I have not experimented with other different Root Beer flavorings, but I hear you can get different kinds at brewery supply stores, or on the internet -- I got mine from the local grocery store (its near the seasonings and flavorings).

Steps:
- Slice the ginger into thin sections and add them to two cups of boiling water.
- Simmer this on very low heat for 20 minutes.
- While this is simmering, boil the gallon of water and two cups of sugar for one minute and set aside.
- Pour the ginger and liquid into a blender and blend on high for about one minute.
- Pour this blend into the sugar water, through a strainer.
- With a soup ladle, pour a few cups of the hot brew through the remaining pulp to extract a bit more of the ginger flavor.
- Cool to room temperature. When cool, add vanilla, yeast and stir until dissolved.
- Let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Then bottle and age.
- The simplest, safest and least expensive method of bottling is to use one-liter plastic soft drink bottles with screw caps.
- These can be sterilized by rinsing in a mixture of household bleach and water and then rinsed with clean water.
- After filling, the bottles should be set aside at room temperature for about 48 hours, or until hard (check by squeezing).
- Then refrigerate to finish the aging process.
- Leaving the bottles at room temperature too long will cause over carbonation.
- Using glass rather than plastic bottles can cause shattered bottles.
- Another nice feature of the plastic bottles is that they can be re-carbonated if only partially consumed.
- Just let it sit out over night with the cap on and refrigerate it when hard.
