Brew rich, old fashioned root beer at home with the Root Beer Kit from Craft a Brew. This complete DIY soda-making kit produces 4 liters of caffeine-free, non-alcoholic root beer with smooth carbonation, creamy body, and classic botanical flavor in less than 24 hours. Designed for beginners and families, it includes the ingredients and supplies needed to make homemade root beer without specialized equipment.
This Root Beer Kit is built for approachable small-batch soda making and delivers a balanced flavor profile with warm spice notes, gentle sweetness, and refreshing carbonation. The recipe uses traditional root beer botanicals instead of pre-made soda syrup concentrates, creating a more authentic homemade character with layered aroma and flavor.
The included recipe features sarsaparilla root, birch bark, ginger root, juniper berries, demerara sugar, and maltodextrin to create a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and classic old fashioned root beer profile. The kit also includes a straining bag, funnel, yeast packet, bottling supplies, specialty caps, and step-by-step instructions to support reliable carbonation and consistent results.
This kit can be naturally carbonated using standard plastic 2-liter soda bottles and the included yeast, or the finished syrup can be mixed directly with seltzer water for immediate serving. Most batches are ready to drink in less than 24 hours depending on carbonation method and storage conditions.
Widely used by beginner home soda makers and families looking for a hands-on beverage project, the Craft a Brew Root Beer Kit provides a reliable way to make fresh, homemade root beer with traditional flavor and simple preparation.
