November 3, 2007 is the 9th annual National Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day, started and coordinated by the <a href="http://www.beertown.org/events/teach/index.html">Brewers Association</a> (formerly known as the American Homebrew Association.

We will be participating locally at <a href="http://www.myvintagewinery.com">My Vintage Winery</a> in Sarasota. Mark has kindly put up a <a href="http://69.49.238.77/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=45">page with directions and more information.</a> 

There are lots of root beer extracts out there, we have tried several and prefer the simple McCormack stuff we kind find in the spice aisle at the grocery store.

The sugars in this recipe are not precise, just make sure you have 2kg total in sugars, and the more different and characterful kinds you have (demara, turbinado) the more complex your root beer will be. Honey is great in here too, a pound or even two can sub directly for any of the sugars. 

This is based on Jeff Renner's recipe that I found on either rec.crafts.brewing or in the Home Brew Digest. It is fairly dry for a soda, with an obvious ginger flavor that is not as burning hot as some.

Comparing the flavor, carbonation, and mouthfeel of the same beer with some bottles carbonated by yeast in the bottle and others carbonated in the keg and then pressure-filled into bottles.

Should be a PDF attached here somehow. But how?
