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.

Best and Easy to make Root Beer Ever

I have been making home made root beer since I was about 15 years old. I'm getting close to 60 so that is some time. I had stopped making for a few years and then got back into it again. I wanted Good and Simple...That is what this product delivers, every time. I got my Tap Handel (collector's Item now) and I am proud to have their name on my home Tap Handle.

Excellent Root Beer

Sprecher root beer is great out of the bottle, but hard to get where I live. During quarantine, good root beer has been hard to find. We have a Soda Stream and gave this a try with it - it's great! We use a little less syrup than recommended and highly carbonate the water and find it tastes great. After some experimentation, we use 175ml of syrup with 1L of carbonated water.

Great Taste

So, after reading the reviews I thought that I would give this a try. I could not be more pleased, it was simple to make (I chilled and pressurized 4 gallons of water 30 psi for 24 hours, then added the gallon of syrup continued to chill/pressurize for another 2 1/2 days; shaking the keg every day.) I did set up a dedicated tap, line, & keg (see my review of the keg) that will only be used for dispensing the root beer (never beer). I use a 6' liquid line at about 6 to 7 PSI and pours perfectly. The flavor is great. Our family has enjoyed it on ice as well as using it for root beer floats. I definitely will be purchasing this again.

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: what is a good co2 pressure for carbonation in the keg?

Asked by: Ralph R Arredondo - 9/30/2020

A: The root beer is much more viscous than your beer would be. For this reason, it requires more pressure to carbonate. I would get the pressure up around 45 PSI if your regulator allows it. Get the soda as cold as possible and let is sit for 72 hours. Check it out and you should be close.

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

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

We do have other root beer extracts on our website where you can choose the sugars you add to the recipe.
