Root beer. I love home made root beer. I stayed with a family one summer. The Mom made home made root beer to surprise her husband and the farm hands when they had to do some haying. She hid/brewed the bottles in the attic. It got a little too warm and the bottle caps popped. Root beer rained on husband all night. When I started making root beer I set the bottles in the bath tub just in case of exploded bottles. When my company came over to share, my daughter who was 8 or 9 announced that Mom made the root beer in the bath tub. People believed I would do it... This goes way back... Any way we call it bath tub root beer. It is made in two liters. It's very easy to do. Follow the directions in the link. Put it some where other than an attic check to see if the bottle has any give. Once it is hard it is ready when you are. I don't drink a lot of sugared stuff these days. I wonder how stevia would work?

I already followed the link and copied the recipe.
Home Made Root Beer
1 tablespoon root-beer extract
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon yeast (whatever kind you have in your kitchen)
cool water
2-liter bottle or growler jug
1. Purchase root-beer extract. My favorite is Zatarain's, and I buy it by the dozen to alleviate shipping costs.
Zatarain's, by the way, got its start not as a purveyor of jambalaya mixes or crab boil,
but as a seller of root-beer extract.
2. Clean out a two-liter soda bottle or, better yet, a growler jug for beer. I don't know why,
but I'm convinced the root beer in the glass growler jug tastes better than that from the plastic bottles.
3. Using a funnel, pour the 1 cup sugar into the bottle.
4. Pour the 1/4 tsp. yeast into the bottle. Shake the bottle so that the yeast and sugar are mixed well.
5. Pour the 1 tbl. root-beer extract into the bottle.
6. Fill the bottle about one-quarter full of cold water and shake well so that the sugar and yeast are dissolved.
7. Fill up the bottle with water until nearly but not quite full, leaving an inch or two of space from the lid.
8. Leave out the bottle in a warm spot for 2-3 days. After 2-3 days, refrigerate the root beer and enjoy whenever you want
. If the root beer's still too flat, you can leave it out again and let it carbonate some more,
but if you leave it out too long, you risk the bottle exploding.
Root beer is a lot less enjoyable when it's dripping from your kitchen ceiling.
Rootbeer7 It's about as simple a recipe as you can get, but I'm almost very happy with the results.
I've found that straying from the proportions even a little bit seems usually to lead to flat root beer, yeasty root beer,
bland root beer or sickly sweet root beer, so I don't fiddle around with the recipe too much.
Also, note that the root beer will be very slightly alcoholic, if that's an issue for you for some reason
(you won't get a buzz off of it or anything).
In the summer, I like to make root-beer ice cream (using a Philadelphia-style vanilla ice-cream base)
and then use it for root-beer floats.

SternWake I'm not sure you are hard headed enough to win against goats. I watched two goats fighting it out for herd leader. 8 hours of bashing each other so bad they could barely move the next day.

A bidet??? And I thought the half-million $ RVs with their washers and dryers were bad.
