Experimental Beer hard root BEER!

Does anyone think I'd have any issues brewing this in a Mr Beer LBK? I just recently moved up to 5 gallon batches and don't want to stain my new equipment. Thoughts?

I think it would be fine. I think mr.beer even had a root beer kit. Or at least I think I remember seeing one somewhere.

Thanks - I had just seen that some people mentioned that they needed to use a blow off tube and was concerned that it might bubble out of the LBK.

You say we should pasturize our bottles to stop the carbing . Do you put them in the water before it gets hot ? Because you cannot put cold bottles in 160 degree water or they will break . Would they beak if they were at room temperature going in to 160 degree water?

Well I got that English Nut Brow Brewing, should start heavy fermenting in in a few more hours.. From the smell of the mash its going to be a nice brew, has a nutty smell to it.. Cant wait...

Im going to the nearest brew shop (100 miles away) tomarrow to get a bunch of supplies for my 1 gallon wine making opperation... Currently I have 3 wines going, and need to add to that, i would like to have about 9 gallon test batches going at ones so im going to get a bunch more carboy stoppers and airlocks so I can expand my opperation.. I want to make a mead in this next batch. Im also going to get a bunck of beer bottles for this Nut brown batch.

You used dark? How much root beer extract did you have to use? I only used Amber dme and I had to use 2 bottles of flavoring. I would cut back to 1 bottle next time I make it though. Was great for about a month. After that it just got too extract chemical-y.

Can you use different flavor of honey, or substitute something for it? I couldn't find wild flower, so I used clover honey and it had a weird flavor. And couldn't get it to carb in the bottles.

IIRC, it was 2 tablespoons for the 1 gallon batch I made. I'll try to check my notes and verify that when I get home

I am new and made up my first batch about 4 days ago. There was alot of activity for the first 3 days, but now it seems to have stopped completely.

Could you substitute Safale 05 for the yeast?

Absolutely, I used 05 on mine. Really 001 and 05 are the same yeast I believe.

This will be my first brew as soon as all my equipment arrives. Pretty excited.
