Anyone else tried to make their own root beer? Any help finding some of
these ingredients would be appreciated. I'll post on my success if any.
Seems all I can find is extracts and sarsparilla powder in tablet
form. Doh.

Tried it once, and it wasn't bad. Pick up a copy of Homemade Root Beer,
Soda & Pop by Stephen Cresswell Plenty of recipes.

I got all the herbs in bulk from Stony Mountain Botanicals
([url]www.wildroots.com[/url]) The seemed to have a wide selection and the prices were
reasonable. It was a while ago, but the shopping experience with them was
good.

Do you have a keg set-up? Force carbonating seems to be the way to go with
this, but you can still make root beer without it.

My wife has been after me to make some RB also. She found a Root Beer
Concentrate. Made by Mc Cormick (the spice people) at the local
supermarket. Thats going to have to do.



Brew on brother!
