I've not seen Vess, Dad's Old Fashion Root Beer, Hires Root Beer or even
IBC Root Beer in my area for a really long time. It seems to be all Coke,
Pepsi, or 7-Up/Dr. Pepper/A&W.

I quite like their Dr. Pepper/Cream Soda combination ... but it's hard
to find sometimes as it sells out quickly.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Hires Home-Brewed Root Beer
Categories: Five, Beverages
     Yield: 50 bottles

     3 oz Hires extract
     4 lb White sugar
 4 3/4 ga Water
   1/2 ts Yeast
     1 pt Warm water

 Pour extract over 4 lbs of sugar. Mix well. (Vary
 amounts of sugar and extract to taste).

 Dissolve mixture in 4 3/4 gallons of lukewarm water.

 Mix 1/2 tsp of dry active yeast in a pint of lukewarm
 water. Allow to stand 5 minutes. Stir well and strain
 through cheesecloth. In cool weather (under 70-|F) double
 the amount of yeast used. In hot weather (over 90-|F) cut
 the amount in half.

 Add the yeast mixture to the solution of sugar, extract,
 and water. Mix well and pour into sterilized bottles
 immediately. Fill bottles to within 1/2 inch of the top
 to minimize spoilage caused by excess air. Cork bottles
 securely or seal with crown or stopper.

 Place bottles on their sides in warm place(70-80) until
 effervescent. (If set in a cool place immediately the
 beverage will sour and remain flat.) The product should
 be ready to drink in about 5 days (longer in cooler
 weather.) Move the bottles to a cool place. Refrigerate
 just before drinking. The beverage will have a slight
 yeast flavor and contain some sediment. Do not filter.

 For best results - use only returnable type carbonated
 beverage bottles.
