Old Fashion Root Beer

INGREDIENTS

  • Root Beer Concentrate  (2 oz.)
  • 5 lbs. sugar
  • ½ of 0.6 yeast cake OR 1 t. dry yeast

DIRECTIONS

Mix sugar and RB concentrate in 5 gal bucket.

Dissolve yeast in water and add to above sugar mixture.  Mix well.

Add 5 gallons lukewarm water.

Makes about 40 bottles.

My recipe does not say how long to incubate the bottled brew.  As I remember it was about a couple of weeks in a warm dark place.  My sibs may remember better.  When Jerry and I made it we just let it incubate until it tasted about right.  Yum!

P.S.  Don’t try this with screw-on bottles.  Need to use glass bottles and metal caps.  I have a bottle capper.  Good luck.  Marie
