Swiggin' stuff, homemade sass'prilla as it were, some brown sugar root beer.
These bottles are sitting near the heater to keep somewhere between 64 and 80 degrees F.
They are not ready yet. We will keep you posted. Remember, I made Ginger Beer a couple of times before, to much acclaim.

how cool!
I can't wait to see/hear how it turns out...no doubt it will be awesome!
You must stay in the kitchen most of the time! I know you get out some since we've seen videos and pictures, but you do a lot of cooking!
That looks very cool! How long do they take to get ready?
Any diet Root Beer?
My mom made that and ginger beer when I was growing up, I miss that, and would like a bottle! I will trade you for a ticket to go to he restaurant show in NYC???
We made root beer growing up too. I just loved using the old bottle capper.
That actually has some alcohol in it, doesn't it? Never made it my self- tried beer, and ended up with 5 gallons of malt vingar...

neato! I do love ginger beer! I'm still on the fence with root beer and sarsaparilla, but Tavo loves it.
Let us know how it goes.
I love root beer - how fun to be able to make it yourself!

Wow, I can't believe you're making your own root beer. How frikkin' cool are you??
How cool are you?
My grandmother used to make homemade root beer and also ginger beer. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.
I suspected that, Doggy. ;-)

UrbanVegan: the ginger beer I made before came out great so I have high hopes for this

I love sarsaparilla. Hard to find on the east coast. Have you ever tried birch beer? Another excellent beverage.
Is there anything you won't try?
marjie: there is some pennsylvannia brand of birch beer that I can find every now and again
TBD: no bungee jumping for me...
I served root beer floats for dessert the other day to 20 guests and you would have thought I had given them all a youth elixir! Everyone was happily nostalgiclly surprised.
You do know that you can buy this stuff, right? Ready made?
jill: there is something about the rootbeer float - it is a comfort food.
jeanne: you can say that about all kinds of things - its the process we like.
really? is that what root beer is made from brown sugar?
I read about making root beer in Saveur a couple years ago. Sounds great. Can't wait to hear how delicious yours is.
Homemade root beer floats, mmmmmm!! Are you making ice cream next?
I suspected that about the cooking! ;-)
No, not Bernice moments with the cryptic comments. I probably think you can read my mind since you often do.
And my follow-up comments generally carry on what we've already written to each other without regard to all the other comments you are also responding to. Or maybe I know how well you multi-task. Yeah, that's it.
Have ADD? Yes, I do.
where's the recipe?
