Brewed My Own

Think Geek has been kind to me. I just finished brewing my very first batch of root beer I purchased through them. Four bottles, one gallon. And while I definitely learned a bit about what to expect while brewing, so I can better do it next time, I'll be happy to see what turns out from this.

The kit required I provide my own sugar. Two kinds -  granulated white and brown. So while I had some generics in my cupboards, I opted to upgrade to organic cane sugar for white and organic brown. I did my very best to stay true to the directions involving measuring. It's really the first time I stuck to the recipe so loyally. But I want this batch to come out right. I also hope to investigate additional sources of spices and vary the quantities to come up with something original and arousing.

I would love to hear from you about what you might recommend. I'm even interesting in brewing an alcoholic variant.

This is brief, but there'll be more on Suds and Duds IV!
