Summer time, time to make root beer.  I had some help at the start but they left and wanted to wait for the finished product.  Like the little red hen. 

Alicia bought up all the Root Beer Extract in the valley.  It is hard to find nowdays.
Yeast is also required for this type of root beer.  I got my yeast from the wine and beer making shop.  Also, bottles and bottle caps are needed.  They can be purchased from the same shop.

4 pounds of sugar, 4 gallons of warter, 1 bottle of extract and a package of brewing yeast.  Mis well.


Pour root beer into the sterilized bottles.  I run my bottles throught dishwasher.

Place sterilized cap on bottle

 Crimp the cap in place.
Finished product.  Incubate to get it fizzy and then refrigerate, aerve and enjoy.
