i was thinkin of making something like a root beer porter or even an alcoholic root beer. good idea? any one try this before?
I've done it using a wheat as the base. The major problem is back-sweetening, because you have to use a non-fermentable and it takes a heap of it to reach normal root beer sweetness levels. I used a combination of lactose and Splenda. Wasn't happy with it. A brown porter might work better, with lots of caramel malt.
For the water I used tea brewed from sassafrass roots I dug from my yard.
