Homemade Root Beer

Makes 4 Gallons

Ingredients:

2 oz. McCormick Root Beer Concentrate

4 lbs. C&H White Sugar

5 lbs. Dry Ice

4 Gallons of Cold Water

5 Gallon Container

Directions: Place cold water in your container, leaving several inches of space at the top. The cooler the water, the more carbon dioxide from the dry ice will dissolve in the water, giving the root beer more fizz. Add the sugar, stirring until it's dissolved. Then add the root beer concentrate. Wearing gloves, very carefully, add the dry ice. Dry ice is extremely cold and must not touch bare skin. Once you have added the ice wait for the root beer solution to bubble. Leave uncovered and allow batch to process for approximately 20 minutes or until dry ice dissipates.
