  1. Making Homemade Rootbeer

  2. Step one- supplies • clean 2 liter plastic soft drink bottle with cap • funnel • 1 cup measuring cup • 1/4 tsp measuring spoon • 1Tbl measuring spoon

  3. Ingredients and Amounts 1 cup cane (table) sugar [sucrose] 1 tablespoon Root Beer Extract 1/4 teaspoon powdered baker's yeast cold fresh water

  4. Add the ingredients in sequence With a dry funnel, add in sequence: 1 level cup of table sugar (cane sugar) (You can adjust the amount to achieve the desired sweetness.)

  5. Add the yeast Add: 1/4 teaspoon powdered baker's yeast ( fresh and active)(Fleischmann's or other brand)

  6. Yeast Development You can see the yeast granules on top of the sugar.

  7. Distributing the yeast Shake to distribute the yeast grains into the sugar.

  8. Swirl the mixture Swirl the sugar/yeast mixture in the bottom to make it concave (to catch the extract).

  9. Adding the root beer extract Add with funnel: 1 Tbl of root beer extracton top of the dry sugar

  10. Mixing in the extract The extract sticks to the sugar which will help dissolve the extract in the next steps.

  11. Adding in the water Half fill the bottle with fresh cool tap water (the less chlorine, the better).  Rinse in the extract which sticks to the tablespoon and funnel. Swirl to dissolve the ingredients.

  12. Fill to the neck with water Fill up to the neck of the bottle with fresh cool tap water,leaving about an inch of head space, securely screw cap down to seal. Invert repeatedly to thoroughly dissolve.

  13. Storage and allowing root beer to work. • Place at room temperature about three to four days until the bottle feels hard to a forceful squeeze. • Move to a cool place • (below 65 F). • Refrigerate overnight to thoroughly chill before serving. • Crack the lid of the thoroughly chilled root beer just a little to release the pressure slowly.

  14. Final Tips • NOTE: Do not leave the finished root beer in a warm place once the bottle feels hard. • After a couple weeks or so at room temperature, especially in the summer when the temperature is high, enough pressure may build up to explode the bottle! • There is no danger of this if the finished root beer is refrigerated. • Refrigerate overnight before opening.
