Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Syrup

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Add Flavoring

    Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, stir in the vanilla extract, sarsaparilla extract, and root beer extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Fermentation

    Sprinkle the yeast over the syrup mixture, stirring gently. Cover the pot with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours to ferment slightly.

  4. 4

    Bottling

    After 24 hours, stir the mixture again. Carefully pour it into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles tightly.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Place the bottles in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours to chill and carbonate. When ready to serve, pour over ice and enjoy your homemade Grand Teton Root Beer.
