How do you make home-made root beer?

Question

ewww, consentrate root beer doesent really sound home-made....It sounds more like bought from a package.

Answer 1

1 (3 oz.) bottle root beer extract
4 lbs. sugar
4 gallons water

Combine sugar, root beer extract and 1 gallon warm water in 5 gallon tall cooler. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add 3 pounds block dry ice; this will cause mixture to bubble; add 2 gallons water and have lid ready to put on container. DO NOT put it on tight.
Let bubble for about 1/2 hour and add rest of water. Root beer will bubble about 2 hours. When bubbling has stopped, root beer is ready to drink. Put in gallon plastic jugs and cap. Will keep in refrigerator for some time.

Answer 2

INGREDIENTS
6 cups white sugar
3 1/3 gallons cold water
1 (2 ounce) bottle root beer extract
4 pounds dry ice


DIRECTIONS
In a large cooler, mix together the sugar and water, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. Stir in the root beer extract. Carefully place the dry ice into the cooler, and cover loosely with the lid. Do not secure the lid, as pressure may build up.
Let the mixture brew for about an hour before serving. Leftover root beer can be stored in one gallon milk jugs.
