Homemade Ozark
Root Beer
.
Mix
ingredients in keg, add water to fill keg, carbonate, drink. Some comments regarding the recipe: I thought the molasses taste was a bit harsh, I will try regular molasses next time and perhaps use a little less as well. I will try substituting 2 oz of
sarsaparilla extract for 2 oz of the root beer extract. In any case, you can mix the ingredients to your taste. This recipe produces a strong tasting
root beer with about half the sweetness of most commercial
root beers (warning: you will want to clean your draft lines after dispensing this root beer, it leaves a flavor behind). It was extremely popular with the underage college crowd because the
root beer was served just like draft beer. You can obtain the extracts in 2 oz bottles at most
home brewing shops. In addition, you can buy bulk extracts through restaurant suppliers, the one brand I know of is 'Universal'. While I
artificially carbonated my root beer (for both legal & practical reasons) you could ferment it to get carbonation. There was an alcoholic
root beer at the Great American Beer Festival, I talked with the
brew master who made it, and it is similar to my recipe, but with the addition of a substantial amount of malt extract to increase the
fermentable. His root beer was in the 6% alcohol by weight range, and tasted very good on it's own, but didn't go well with drinking lots of regular beer. |

As always, I wish for you to have your perfect life!
