Old Fashion Rootbeer Ingredients.

The following list of ingredients are some of the flavoring roots and barks that I have used. You may want to add other flavoring ingredients. Putting together your own recipe is part of the fun of home brewing. You will need the following:

One gallon filtered water( purchase at your supermaket).
1/8 tsp. of Ale yeast ( You can find a your local wine supply store)
1/4 oz. Dried sassafras root. ( about 2 tablespoons) Optional.
1/4 oz. dried sarsaparilla root. (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 oz. Dried birch bark. (about 2 tablespoons)
1/8 oz. dried licorice root. ( about 1 tablespoon)
1 inch of fresh ginger root, sliced thin. (can be purchaased at your supermarket)
1 vanilla bean, split or crushed a little. (try about 1/4 tablespoon of vanilla extract)
