I used to make amazing fresh alcoholic and organic ginger ale. It was one of the best beers I used to make. I was a master at amber ales and stouts. My blackberry stout was pretty popular. I always brewed with the berries thrown into the wort at the end and strained/pressed out for full flavor. I never added concentrated flavor or juices at bottling and it always tasted like the berries were fresh but also blended really well with the other flavors, with the exception of blueberry. I can't believe I never tried a root beer and I can't believe real ginger ale isn't more popular.

From True Brews by Emma Christensen:
Quote:
Root beer is tricky. True root beer is made with sassafras root, which is not only hard to find outside its growing region but also cannot be sold commercially. Sassafras contains a chemical, safrole, which was found to cause cancer in lab rats if consumed in large enough quantities and was subsequently banned by the FDA. You’d have to drink root beer like water to be at risk, but still. Bummer. I tried many different combinations of herbs, barks, roots, and spices to mimic an all-natural root beer at home, but at the end of the day, you really need that sassafras root. Therefore, this is one recipe where I endorse the use of syrup to get the flavor just right. I particularly like Fermentap #1 Root Beer Syrup, but any you find will make a fine soda. Since different syrups can vary in sweetness, use less sugar to start and add more to taste. 2 cups water, plus more to fill the bottles ½ to 1 cup packed / 4 to 8 ounces dark brown sugar 2½ teaspoons root beer extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup / 1⅓ ounces raisins, coarsely chopped 1 star anise Pinch of salt ⅛ teaspoon dry champagne yeast 1 • Bring the water to a simmer and remove from the heat. Add ½ cup of the brown sugar, the root beer extract, vanilla, raisins, star anise, and salt, stirring to dissolve the brown sugar. Let stand until cool. 2 • Strain the root beer syrup into a bowl and pour into a clean 2-liter bottle using a funnel. Top off the bottle with water, leaving at least 1 inch of headspace. Give it a taste and add more brown sugar, if desired. The extra sugar will dissolve on its own. 3 • Add the yeast. Screw on the cap and shake the bottle to dissolve and distribute the yeast. Let the bottle sit at room temperature out of direct sunlight until carbonated, typically 12 to 48 hours, depending on the temperature of the room. Check the bottle periodically; when it feels rock solid with very little give, it’s ready. 4 • Refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 weeks. Open very slowly over a sink to release the pressure gradually and avoid bubble-ups

Not your fathers root beer sucks IMO, it does taste like root beer but for me has a shitty aftertaste, Coney Island hard root beer is much better and has been around longer but for some reason this new one is catching a lot of attention and they're making it out to be the first root beer beer lol

Habadashery said: REAL rootbeer is almost always alcoholic. In the 1-3% range typically. Making real rootbeer is illegal today in america, because our loving government doesn't want us using real sassafras(because it contains a precursor used in the manufacturing of MDMA).
No. Because safrole is a potent liver toxin and most likely carcinogenic.
