Sprecher Rootbeer Soda 1 gallon Extract

This truly old fashioned soda has the rich, creamy flavor that only comes from using pure Wisconsin honey direct from the combs. These extracts are prepared at the brewery in a hand-made, gas-fired brew kettle, by combining honey, pure vanilla and a host of aromatic botanicals. The dark, honeyed brew will build a delicious, frothy head when properly poured into a frosted mug. Simply add 4 gallons of water to this one gallon extract, carbonate, and enjoy!

This product requires a kegging system, in order to force carbonate. Bottle conditioning will not work.

Rootbeer

This made an awesome root beer for the family. We will dedicate a keg to this from now on.

Great Root Beer

We made and kegged this root beer about two weeks ago and all 5 gallons are gone. I will be buying again soon.

The taste that started the premium soda craze

We used to live near Sprecher Brewery. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a fan. This root beer was one of those leading the way in the premium soda renaissance of recent years. I love the deep rich taste, and it's easy to carbonate at home. I've tried to do their orange concentrate at home and it didn't go nearly as well. Enjoy! This will not disappoint.

Absolutely The Best Root Beer Ever!!!

I have seen this for sale now for a while and always wondered how it tasted. Well I found a 12oz bottle at a local candy store (Rocket Fizz) and I chilled it in the fridge and poured into a frosted mug. WOW!! The best root beer I have ever had. So then I ordered the 1 gallon syrup. I followed the instructions for a keg, and it tasted exactly like the bottle I purchased. Trust me when I say that you will not be disappointed with this product. I am going to purchase another keg just to keep some of this root beer on tap.

Awesome Syrup

Tastes awesome and it DOES work with Sodastream. You just have to use a little more than normal Sodastream syrup. Highly recommend.

Always a Favorite

This is always a favorite for those non-beer drinkers and kids. Plus it makes a great root beer float. I've tried others but this is our fave.

Best Root Beer there is!

I've had this from a bottle and thought it would be fun for the kids. Let me tell you it tastes better coming out of the keg than the bottle! Easy ratio! 1 gal of syrup to 4 of water. = Morons like me can do it! I run 15 feet of serving line and pressurize at 35 psi and it turned out great!

Q: Somebody already asked if this can be made half-a-batch at a time. However, I'd like to make this bottle by bottle. I'm trying to make myself non-carbonated root beer, to avoid acidity. Can I mix a batch of any size, or is there some minimum-size batch I should make? (Again, I don't want to carbonate my soda)

Asked by: Moon - 9/20/2020

A: This could be used by the bottle. The syrup when paired with 4gallons of water is enough to make 5 gallons total. Pairing down the ratio from 1 gallon of syrup to 4 gallons of water for the batch size your looking to produce would be best

Q: Can this Sprecher root beer syrup be ran though a post mix soda dispenser (i.e. bag in a box style) for the carbonation and dispensing?

Asked by: Bobwiley - 4/7/2020

A: this can be used on soda systems where the co2 is infused but would not be able to be natrually carbonated with yeast. this should be able to be applied to a bag-in-a-box set up

Q: Want to try but not sure how..what all do I need to use the root beer syrup

Asked by: Everett Mullin - 3/9/2020

A: The syrup would not be able to be naturally carbonated in bottles, so a forced co2 kegging system like item ID 99-2645-2 with the addition of a co2 tank would give you whats needed to carbonate and serve the soda

Answer provided by: Lauren Acton (2/17/2020)

Q: Yes I realize that but I am talking about the other that I ordered in the small bottles.

Asked by: DELROY NORLUND - 2/17/2020

A: yeast is used in addition to the syrup and sugar to naturally form carbonation in the bottles as co2 is a natural by product of fermenting and will be trapped inside the bottles to provide co2 naturally to the beverage. The amount of alcohol produced in this case is only trace amounts to provide enough co2 to carbonate the bottles. otherwise, the syrup can be used in a forced co2 setting or in countertop soda dispensers to negate the need for yeast to provide carbonation

Q: After it’s carbonated, can the serving pressure be reduced to normal beer serving pressure or would I need a separate regulator for this tap in my 7 tap keezer to serve at a higher pressure?

Asked by: Craig - 1/30/2020

A: The serving pressure can be lowered as needed, but would eventually balance out to the pressure the beer is served at. If you prefer more carbonatino or fizz on the rootbeer, using a separate higher pressure regulator for serving would be best. Otherwise, serving at typical beer pressures would give you a pour similar to an A & W draft root beer for comparison, which is my preferred method : )

Q: Do you need to refrig. or get the keg cold in order to force carbonate?

Asked by: NORMAN LYLES - 4/27/2019

A: the process of carbonation would be sped up by keeping the keg as cold as possible without freezing but can be done warm taking into account the added time it will take to fully carbonate
