Zatarain’s Root Beer (Fermented)

Ingredients

• 1 four-ounce bottle Root Beer Extract
• 5 gallons of warm, filtered water
• 3-4 lbs. sugar
• 5 grams dried beer yeast dissolved in warm water

Directions

1. Fill a bottling bucket with five gallons of warm (not hot), filtered water. Dissolve sugar in water, then add root beer extract and hydrated beer yeast. Mix well, then bottle in about 53 cleaned and sanitized 12-oz. beer bottles. Cap securely and age bottles at room temperature for 24 hours. Open a bottle and check for appropriate carbonation. If more time is needed, check again every 8-12 hours until desired carbonation is achieved. When desired carbonation is reached, store bottles in a refrigerator to prevent further fermentation.
