RootBeer
Saturday, March 5th, 2005Rootbeer Recipe Makes 4 Gallons
1 Bottle Rainbow Flavors Rootbeer Extract
4 gals of Spring or RO water minus 4 cups
2 lb bag of Domino Dark Brown Sugar
7 Cups White Cane Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
4 Tablespoons Malto Dextrin(optional some times i use it sometimes i don’t).
Heat up 1 - 2 gals of water just enough to dissolve Sugar and Malto Dextrin(make sure it’s fully dissolved). Remove from heat add extract and vanilla and get every drop out of the bottle. Pour into keg and add the rest of the water stir and shake really good to get it mixed up. I let age for 2 -3 weeks. Give the keg a good shake every couple of days when you think about it. After 3 weeks are up i put it in fridge and hook up CO2 and carb for a week to 10 days at 10 psi. Drink and enjoy. I really hope somebody makes this and tells me what you think of it. Eveybody that has tried it says it’s the best. My wife gets so mad at me when i try different extracts so i’ll have to say this is my house Rootbeer.

EDIT: If bottling use 1/4 teaspoon dry ale yeast per gal of Rootbeer. Coopers is supossed to be the best for RootBeer. Nottingham or any ale yeast would work though.
