root beer with alcohol?

sublimenal · Feb 13, 2010

Hi there I have found root beer recipes that dont contain any alcohol but is it possible to make root beer with the same alcohol content as regular beer? I have yet to find a recipe online, any help would be appreciated. Thanks :ban:

I suppose if you wanted to use a lot more sugar, you could boost the alcohol, but I'm not sure how it would taste.

i'll give you a report in about two weeks... got my 1056 step #1 on stir plate earlier.

Cool thanks!

yes you can just let the yeast ferment the sugars in the rootbeer. but i wouldn't expect it to taste good. but i could be wrong. all i can say is try it and see what you get.

I once got the bright idea (when I was out of coke) to try Crown Royal and root beer.

Once. Only once, won't do that again

I'm not sure how an alcoholic root beer would taste but a 50/50 mix of Knob Creek and A&W root beer with some ice is absolutely delicious.

So you want a Hard Root Beer eh.

Glass of Vodka and several shots of Torani Classic Root Beer syrup to taste. Some seltzer for the fizz.

Doesn't get any harder than that!

My bro in law gave me a Dr. Pepper and crown. Pretty good.
