Made this a week ago, pretty close IMO to A&W, little creamier.
2oz* (typically 1 bottle) McCormick Root Beer Concentrate
64 oz Light Corn Syrup
1 lb Dark Brown sugar
3 lb cane sugar
Heat 6 qt water in stock pot to simmer, add corn syrup and sugar. simmer 30 minutes. Cool pan in ice bath to 90.
Transfer to keg/bottling bucket
Add Root Beer extract, bring volume to 5 gallons (top off keg)
Carbonate in keg or proceed with yeast method in bottles.
* Add 3 to 4 oz of Root Beer Concentrate for a more rooty kick.
McCormick is the brand of concentrate I find at my local Wal-Mart and Hy-Vee. Others have tested this with other brands and all seem to have good results.
