Ok so im wanting to brew something my buddy's down at AA can enjoy lol. (not serious but i do have a lot of non drinking Buddy) I'm thinking im wanting to make a old fashioned Root beer and here is what i came up with after reading many recipes
Hope to make into a 5 gallon batch (don't know how much of each ill use at this point)
Bottled Water (my water isn't so good)
Anise
Sarsaparilla
Nutmeg
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla Beans
Brown sugar
Honey (local bee farmers)
Sassafras
and to give it a Nevada taste
(and im still pondering this)
Juniper Berries and Russian olive (berries?) the Russian Olive berries i was thinking of roasting a bit on the grill to bring out a smoked flavor.
And of course Champagne Yeast was thinking WLP-715? (unless someone recommends different)
Now i am trying to decide how i am going to .... ferment? this stuff - DO you guys recommend just using a 5 gallon bucket with lid or would my carboy with a Solid stopper be better to get good carbonation
Im going over some recipees I found to see how much of each I should use
When it comes to the R.O. and the Juniper im not sure how much I will need. but both grow in my front yard here in the high desert of Nevada.
What do yall recommend / think of it?
