What Makes It Uncommon

A Budding Brewmaster

Craft beer. It's not just for mom and dad anymore. We're talking about root beer, of course. And now your little foodie can make their own at home. The best part: the kit includes ingredients needed—sassafras extract, yeast, a funnel, labels and instructions—and it's all natural (unlike a lot of store bought options). A great birthday or just-because gift for budding chefs and brewmasters, they'll earn their treat and learn a little science along the way. Made in Virginia.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Bought but haven't tried out yet

The item is exactly what we expected. We are waiting to give this as a gift to our 9 year old for Christmas as a fun science experiment.


An ideal gift for a root beer loving granddaughter!

My granddaughter not only loves root beer, but she is very inquisitive and this kit is sure to spark her imagination.


Birthday Gift Success

I'm not sure my eight-year old nephew has made it yet, but it was a hit for his birthday. Can't wait to hear what it tastes like. #sweepstakes


sodas at home

fun project with yummy result


Great idea for a guy who loves root beer!

Seriously, this is the best place EVER to pick up things for the person who has everything or even a fun unique gift for anyone. I literally WAIT for your catalogs every Christmas! lol


Fun, interesting, and delicious!

My retired science teacher husband loves rootbeer, so this was automatically a perfect match. He made his first batch and is hooked! He no longer has to search for caffeine free rootbeer as he can make his own now. It seemed easy to make with little mess. (He made it, I didn't.) He was very impressed with the taste. He has now purchased more yeast and flavor to keep making it.


Great for a nerdy dad

It is exactly as expected and described. We're very excited to try it out!


A fun little science project for my son

This was a neat Christmas Break project for my son and I to do together. He had a fun time learning, and the directions were easy to follow.


Mom loves root beer!

So much fun! Mom is such a root beer fan - and a real aficionado to the point where we'd already bought her every brand under the sun to try. The only thing we hadn't given her was a DIY kit so this was just perfect and she loved it! #sweepstakes


DIY Fun!

Really fun gift that is activity oriented!

I ordered this for my grandson, but when I looked up "sassafras extract," I read that is has been banned for years because it is carcinogenic.

Verified reply from Allison

The maker of the states 'Our kit contains root beer extract, and it does not contain sassafras extract. All ingredients contained in our root beer extract are approved for use in a regulation of the FDA or are listed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) on a reliable published industry association list.


Can you share a picture of the ingredient label for this product?

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! Here are the ingredients listed on the labels for the items in the kit. The root beer extract is: water, natural and imitation flavors, caramel color, and propylene glycol. The brewer's yeast is: yeast (Saccharomyces bayanus), emulsifier, sorbitan monostearate (e491).


Does this Root Beer have caffeine?

Verified reply from Andy

Hi! The root beer is caffeine free.


Are the ingredients kosher

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! This is not certified kosher.


Description says made in a facility with common allergens - can you tell me what specifically?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! This item has not been certified that it is not manufactured in a nut-free environment.


Does this kit have high fructose corn syrup in it?

Verified reply from Leslie

There isn't! You'll add your own sweetener when making it.


A review said the containers used should be plastic because there's an instruction to squeeze to determine something. Is that the case or could this be made in an air tight glass pitcher? Also, could this recipe be quartered easily to make half a gallon at a time?

Verified reply from Cassandre

You surely can quarter the recipe and you can make the Root Beer in anything that can be sealed or capped.


Can you just clean the bottles well and not sanitize/bleach them?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! That should be fine, but If it doesn’t get clean enough there is a chance that the yeast will create an off flavor.


I am Giving this as a gift. I already wrapped it and didn't read the instructions. What other items do they need. Do you have to have your own sugar etc. and bottles. I want to include all the things they will need. Thank you

Verified reply from Amy

Everything they need is in the kit, aside from whatever bottles they'd like to put it in! Bottles just need to be able to be sealed or capped!


Can you break it down into smaller batches or use multiple bottles

Verified reply from Leslie

Yes! You can break it down to smaller batches.
