Brew Your Own Root Beer Kit

Brew your own old-fashioned, delicious root beer right at home. This little kit contains enough materials to make 1-4 gallons of custom-brewed root beer. It's an easy way to learn some tasty science. Just combine the root beer extract (the smell alone made our mouths water), champagne yeast, and some sugar in some warm water, stir, then bottle it up. About 2 weeks later, you can enjoy a frosty mug of your own root beer. 


As tempting as it may be, giving the yeast time to work its magic is essential. If your root beer doesn't have quite the flavor you were looking for, we recommend letting it sit for a few more days and tasting it again. Besides, while your soda brews you can design your own custom bottle labels (blank ones are included with the kit). Inside the can you'll also find yeast, root beer extract, and a funnel. All you need to provide is sugar, water, a pot that can hold a gallon of liquid, and some resealable plastic soda bottles.
