Homemade Root Beer
Homemade rootbeer is a favorite at Halloween and summer barbeque parties.
Homemade Root Beer
1 bottle rootbeer extract
5 lbs sugar
5 gallons water
5 lbs dry ice (can use 7 lbs)
Mix together in a 8 to 10 gallon water container (not metal) the water, sugar, and extract. Stir all together.
Using gloves put in the dry ice small pieces at a time. Stir with wooden or plastic spoon.
It takes about 30 minutes to carbonate. Stir every few minutes
TIPS:
I was told to never use metal containers or utensils.
When you buy the dry ice, it comes in a big chunk, when you throw the whole big chunk in it tends to freeze to the bottom of the container, so if you can break it up buy banging the brown bag of dry ice on the ground or using an ice pick, try to break it up in small chunks!!
If it stops brewing and you need it to, when you pour water over the ice it starts it brewing again.
Yummy stuff! Christy's favorite!
