I pitched a new batch of root beer tonite from Royal Extracts.

Varied it up a little bit with 15L of water to 4.4lbs of sugar (plus or minus as I had my 6 year old helping me with that one). Used 1.5 times the amount of extract and got that nice root beer flavor hit. I also used water that was fairly warm (not hot but warm).

I also used champagne yeast this time, which is something I haven't played with before and I hope I don't damage any of my PETN bottles.

Well here's to hoping I had a successful recipe this time around.

Thanks again for all the help guys and gals.

King! :mug:
 
Success...:mug: :mug:

This time around I achieved the high sugar content I was looking for (sweetness) with the earthy rootbeer essence and a very mild yeast taste..... I am quite happy with this.

Now to take this recipe and drink it all gone - buy the carny and cO2 and get to work with force carb!!! YAH!
