My home brewed root beer turned out delicious. I highly recommend it if you can come by the ingredients. It does have a taste reminiscent of root beer soda, but you wouldn't confuse the two. Earthier, stronger tasting but less sweet, and the fermentation adds its own flavor in there. All the ingr ...
