Zubereitung von Root Beer
- In a large, non-reactive pot, combine the water, sugar, and yeast nutrient. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
- Remove from heat and stir in the root beer extract, sassafras bark, and wintergreen extract. Let this mixture cool completely.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixture to your 5-gallon fermenter. Add the yeast and gently stir.
- Seal the fermenter and leave it in a cool, dark place for 7-10 days, or until fermentation is complete. (You should see a noticeable slowing of bubbling.)
- After fermentation, carefully siphon the root beer into bottles, leaving behind any sediment.
- Seal the bottles tightly and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 days to allow the carbonation to develop. You might want to add a teaspoon of sugar to each bottle if you want more carbonation.
- Once carbonated, store the root beer in the refrigerator for optimal refreshment. Enjoy your delicious, homemade root beer!
