Russ:
i once looked into brewing my own sodas. The idea hit a wall once i realized i cant naturally carbonate the soda without some alcohol getting into the drink.
I love my root beer and ginger ale tho
WhistlingBadger:
I'm partial to Fat Tire myself. I enjoy some of the really strong ginger ales that are out there, too. Russell, you can get do-it-yourself rootbeer kits that use compressed CO2 to carbonate (google it). I bet if you got a kit and figured out the process, you could pretty easily figure out how to make your own alcohol-free concoctions. Then you could send some samples to me as thanks for the idea. ;D
mullet:
I'll take an ice, cold Yengling, please. :OK

Look up the "Swiss Family Robinson" novel and the part about the non alcoholic carbonated fruit drinks they made using sourdough bread dough to generate CO2.
It was apparently a not uncommon procedure in the 18th and 19th centuries.
IIRC they called it Hydromol or something like that.
I love old style Sassafras tea, never tried natural root beer though. The oil in the Sassafras root that gives it its punch is now a controlled substance, its the precursor to MDMA the drug known as Ecstasy.

The two major byproducts of yeast consuming fermentable sugars is CO2 and alcohol.
