Favorite Beer?

Real Root Beer is beer. It ferments in glass beer bottles - capped. Takes about a week or so to be ready. In hot weather some of the bottles may explode.

My root beer is made and then bottled in plastic 2 liter bottles. It contains no hops nor is it made like real beer. It needs 1 week or so to ferment in the 2 liter's to get the carbonation it needs then it goes into the frig where it won't blow up. The recipe I follow has no alcohol content. 

As far as REAL root beer IDK, it's not what I make. I like the frothy, yummy, deep flavor of old fashioned root beer. Good over ice-cream or with spirits.

Have you ever seen or heard a plastic bottle explode?

 

Just a hint, don't put dry ice and a small amount of liquid in a plastic bottle and throw it in a lake or river...

I'm just saying...

[bagwell1987]

No, I haven't but I'm sure they have. IF you don't keep track and put in the frig.

The plastic bottles are actually a gauge. After bottling you compress the bottles to see if they're tight, thus the correct amount of carbonation. Then refrigerate. As a someone who ferments foods it's the same thought process. You KNOW when it's the right time.

 

 

Richard, dry ice?? Really? Naughty, naughty!

What does it taste like? Smooth or have a little bite to it? 

[Tbs77]

Both Pilsner very smooth, Dunkel slight bite, Octoberfest... More alcohol by content..

[bagwell1987]

Many of my homemade brew is 7-8.5%. I wouldn't mind the Dunkel then. Right now I'm really into a Hoppy Red, left to process 3 weeks instead of 2. Takes the sharp bitterness out of the hops but leaves the strong hop flavor.

Guess I'll have to try a Pilsner next, sounds good.

Not a good idea. To enjoy beer pair it with salty foods, crisp chips, almost anything fried. Beer only goes with certain sweets.

Pizza is a good companion food, likewise cheddar and stronger cheeses. Hotdogs probably not available in your local.

Beef sausage good, especially if pickled.

Lots of ways to enjoy beer, but not with ice cream unless you have a high barf threshold .

Oh, and despite what our English brothers might suggest, first beer, choose a hot day and the beer should almost be freezing. Leave the warm beer to the more experienced.

Oh...no ice-cream? I read somewhere here that someone said some kind of ice cream and beer and that was the only reason that made me want to try beer!

 

I did not understand: hot dogs not available in your local?   What is that?

 

So I have to wait for next summer for my first beer...or I need to fly where it is warm this winter!

 

Thank you for the tips, will keep these in mind!

I've had beer and ice cream and it was really good. It was a type of beer that went very well with ice cream, not all beers would taste good with ice cream..

I'm not a beer drinker but I've been to a few breweries and sampled many beers, there is a huge variety of beer available so go to a brewery or restaurant that will serve a flight of beers, it will help you sample several types of beer.

This sounds good!

Do you find it in any beer store? Souds so specific.

(In Canada, well in Ontario Canada, beer is only sold either at the Beer store or at LCBO and they have a beer section)

They have hotdogs in Canada? I never knew.
