Homemade Root Beer!

I just love homemade root beer brewed to perfection this time of year. There is something about Autumn, Halloween, and the excitement that comes with it that opens up the opportunity to brew some root beer for the kids and loved ones. Last year I made my first attempt at making homemade root beer. Had I known it was so easy, I would of been making it for years! We had a family reunion  and our assignment was to brew some root beer for the family! Believe it or not, I had never made root beer before so I went looking for recipes. I was surprised that there weren’t many online but the ones I saw were very simple. Most claimed 4 simple ingredients. That’s it! So for my root beer I took those four ingredients, added 1 more I thought would enhance it a bit and increased the amount of dry ice a bit.

Oh My!! :):)
We created a delicious slushy brew that was {FABULOUS}!

The perfect “FUN” treat!

 

The kids loved it and thought the dry ice effect was very fun!

We made 5 gallons, but I am going to give you a 1 gallon recipe and it can be increased if necessary.

HOMEMADE ROOT BEER-INGREDIENTS

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 gallon of PURIFIED DRINKING WATER

1 lb of SUGAR which is approximately 2 cups {eeek!}

.5 to 1 fluid oz of  ROOT BEER EXTRACT (this is a fourth to a half  of the 2 oz bottles that are common in stores)

2 tsp of pure VANILLA  extract

1 to 1.5 lbs of DRY ICE  (you should look up stores in your area that carry dry ice  because it can sometimes be hard to find)

 

pour 3/4 of the cold water in container

add sugar and dissolve completely

add root beer extract and vanilla {I like a little extra extract to make it stronger}

add the dry ice (very carefully following dry ice instructions)

brew for about 15 minutes

stirring and keeping dry ice moving around will create a yummy cold icy brew

at this point, add the remaining water and continue to brew for additional 15-30 minutes until you feel it is ready!

 

 Here is a printable recipe card to keep on file:

    I love homemade Root Beer. There is nothing better for Halloween thank a white smoke filled pot of Root Beer. When I was growing up, my mom always made three gallons of the stuff for family parties and other holidays. That sweet vanilla flavor is so awesome combined with the bubbly effect of the dry ice.
