For all of those that have been getting separation issues, what is the alcohol content in the final batch? I have a hunch. I wonder if we are setting the alcohol content too high. I was drinking age not your fathers root beer yesterday, because I can't get my badge to work properly because my...

Does ANYONE have a recipe for this where they have brewed it multiple times and NOT experienced separation? If so, can you please share it step by step, in every detail?

I used zatarain's at first as well. Got huge separation. There has to be something causing it.

I used McCormick and got separation.

I don't understand how some people don't have any separation problems. It blows my mind. I don't even know how "not your fathers root beer" is able to do it. It's really inconvenient to have to shake up something that's carbonated every time you want to drink it

Let me know how it turns out compaired to NYFR. I've tried several variations and each time I get horrible separation. Lose all RB flavor to the bottom slush separation.

I didn't know there was such a program. I can go download it. Thanks for that information!

I've read people adding it to the wort pre-fermentation, so I added it to the wort, but I've noticed it messes with the gravity. Is there any reason why this is added early on? It's a non-fermentable sugar.

I experienced a stall fermentation also. What helped me was agitating the used at the bottom. Just get along spoon or rod and stir up the used without adding oxygen. Do this about once a day over the course of a couple of days and it should agitate enough to finish fermentation. I've also been...

Lol meth Sorry, I don't know the math. If you're providing a link could you provide a link for me to do the conversions of sugar to alcohol? If it's not a link could you provide the formula?

11oz? Did you mean percent?

Awesome! Thanks for the input. :) If I wanted to get 8%+, how much more sugar would need to be added?

It's a light DME. I add flavoring after. It's a hard root beer recipe.

You lost me when you said 27%...
