Comment préparer 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!
