What Makes It Uncommon

Cola, schmola is the secret catchphrase shared among members of the very exclusive Root Beer Appreciation Society…which does not exist, but definitely should. Because there’s a special bond among those who prefer the spicy, revitalizing taste of root beer, a soft drink that's such an American original, the founding fathers were probably quaffing it when they signed the Declaration of Independence (Philly gets awfully hot in summer, after all). This home-brewing kit is for all would-be members of the R.B.A.S.—and anyone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and indulging in some traditional refreshment-making.

  • In just a few hours, craft 4 liters of thirst-quenching root beer with rich botanical flavor and a creamy, satisfying mouthfeel.
  • No corn syrup or food coloring, just high-quality ingredients: caramelly demerara sugar and a custom blend of real sarsaparilla, birch bark, ginger root, and juniper berries.
  • The easy-to-follow instructions (supplemented by a how-to video via QR code) include customization tips, like how to cook up caramel color the old-fashioned way.
  • Mix the finished syrup into seltzer water for instant soda, or use the included yeast and bottling kit to carbonate the root beer naturally: a science experiment that’s deliciously fascinating for all.
  • Made in Florida.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Fairly terrible: tasted weird and caps leaked the CO2

The taste was not in the realm of "good", and there was little carbonation. Best I can tell the provided caps both leaked. Giving it extra time did not help.

Response from merchant

We’re sorry to hear that your experience with this item didn’t meet expectations. We haven’t seen any trends in defects or damages with this item. It sounds like there may have been an issue with the caps, which could have affected both the carbonation and the taste. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with our team.

My grandson, a collector, wanted another one for keeps

He collects unusual and rare root beers. He thought this gift was a hoot. Wanted one to make and one for his collection.

The root beer-making kit

The root beer-making kit is original and imaginative. My dear son-in-law, whose big Christmas gift it is, is delighted with it! We are all root beer lovers in our family, so this wonderful beverage will be much enjoyed. To be able to make the root beer yourself is very special. The product arrived promptly and was very carefully wrapped for shipping. I have ordered items from Uncommon Goods for a number of years. You offer items that I don't see anywhere else. I will continue to order from you.

I will buy this product again and again!! Amazing

This was the coolest gift. It went over so well. We opted for to make the syrup and add seltzer water. The best root beer around! Thank you Uncommon Goods for having such awesome, unique gifts. I recommend this to anyone who loves root beer and wants to start to become a bee master! Merry Christmas

Tasty

I bought this for two people's birthdays after trying the kit my self. Super tasty. It is great for families with kids. There is an easy way and harder way to make it so you can adjust for who is helping make it. It makes a lot of syrup. I used the left over to replace the liquid in a box cake mix to make a root beer cake

Making RootBeer

This was a gift for a brother-in-law for his birthday. He had such fun making it and it was a great reminder of a trip my sister, his wife and my husband and I took to Tortilla Flats and had their awesome rootbeer! Memories.

Yummm!

Crafting my own root beer with the Artisan Root Beer Kit was an absolute delight! The kit offered a seamless experience with easy-to-follow instructions, allowing me to create a delicious, flavorful beverage right at home. The quality of ingredients provided a distinct taste that surpassed store-bought options. The satisfaction of customizing the sweetness and flavors to suit my preference made this brewing experience not only enjoyable but also educational. It's a fantastic gift for anyone who loves unique DIY projects or simply enjoys a refreshing glass of homemade root beer. #sweepstakes

Once you use all the ingredients in the kit, are refill ingredients available or do you buy a whole new kit again?

Verified reply from Monique

Hello, we do not sell refills but you can purchase Root Beer Kit Accessories on the makers website. https://craftabrew.com/pages/root-beer-making-kit

  • undisclosed

Does this require the use of a stove or other heating element?

Verified reply from Maxienne

Yes, it requires boiling water.

  • OR

Is it possible to split the recipe, so that you only make some of the syrup at a time, rather than making 4 liters worth at once?

Verified reply from Madlen

Great question! The instructions that come with the kit call for using all the ingredients with a little left for trial and error. The syrup you make will last up to 6 weeks in the fridge. You can then add it to a glass of seltzer when you would like a glass of root beer instead of pouring it all into bottles. Hope this helped answer your question.

  • undisclosed

Do you know if it's several hours of active time to make the root beer, or is it more like a mix and let it sit kind of thing?

Verified reply from Jen

Theres a bit of chemistry involved, but in just a few hours you can certainly craft 4 liters.

  • Burr Ridge,IL

After it's made what is the shelf life…(how long does it stay fresh) does it stay in fridge?

Verified reply from Dayle-Marie

Your homemade Root Beer Syrup can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for 6 weeks. If you carbonate bottles in 2L bottles, we advise drinking them within 1 week.

What materials are you anticipating the person receiving this will have to supply at home? Anything unusual that would need to be purchased?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! This kit is meant for beginners and will not require anything that is not readily available at a well-stocked grocery store :^)

  • Dayton, oh

What is included in the kit? Just the herbs? Are there bottles, etc. Also?

Verified reply from Richard

Great question -- we've got a complete list of components in the description and product images on the product page as well as most product pages.

  • undisclosed

Could you sub a sugar substitute to make this a diet root beer?

Verified reply from Itamar

This root beer kit includes Demerara sugar which is part of what gives root beer the naturally complex sweet flavor. Substitutions are not ideal or possible with this kit.

  • undisclosed

Does this kit have an expiration date? I want to order this for a Christmas gift but worry if I order too early the products will expire. Wondering if I should wait a bit before ordering

Verified reply from Itamar

Currently, our held inventory for this item is labeled to be viable for at least 6 months from the issue date.
