Brewer's Best Birch Beer Extract

Brewer's Best Birch Beer Concentrated Extract makes up to 4 gallons of birch beer soda.

Dosage:

• 1 Gallon: 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of yeast, 1/2 ounce extract, 2 cups of sugar
  
• 2 Gallons: 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, 1 ounce extract, 4 cups of sugar
  
• 4 Gallons: 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of yeast, 2 ounce extract, 8 cups of sugar
  

Instructions:

1. Dissolve fresh Champagne, wine or beer yeast in a cup of warm water (98F). Let stand 5 minutes or longer to dissolve, mix thoroughly.
2. Shake extract bottle well.  Combine extract and sugar in sufficient warm water to dissolve sugar.
3. Add yeast mixture and warm warm water to bring level of liquid up to correct amount chosen, as indicated in dosages list.
4. Mixture can be tasted. More or less sugar, or extract may be added to suit taste.
5. Fill sanitized bottle within 1 to 2 inches of top. Seal bottle with appropriate cap. Bottle not sealed properly may become flat or sour.
6. Lay bottles on side to check for leaks. Age 3-4 days at room temperature, then move to cooler, dark space. Allow to set for an additional week.  Two-weeks will allow for better flavor. As carbonation develops sediment will appear on the bottom of bottles. When serving, pour carefully to leave sediment behind.
