Anybody know how to make homemade rootbeer? Is yeast used in some way?
I don't drink much alcohol because it doesn't agree with me (I get woozy after one drink... and I just don't like feeling stupid and slow... caffeine is my drug of choice).
A few years ago I used to make a drink called "kvas". I was into experimenting with fermentation, particularly yogurt and yogurt-milk. The kvas is like a beer but you only ferment it for about six hours, the ingredients were bread, active yeast, sugar, raisins, and water... I forgot the exact recipe. You had to refrigerate it and drink it within a couple of days because the yeast was still live- I suppose there is a way to kill the yeast totally?
