Root Beer was once a fermented, probiotic beverage that people relied upon as a tonic in the spring. It was made from an array of locally sourced roots & herbs sweetened with sap tapped from local trees. Naturally fermented with wild yeast, these historic root beers are worlds away from what modern soda companies make today.
In this class, we will create an old-style root beer and sample several variations. Students will learn the ins and outs of fermentation, and learn how to apply this knowledge to concoct an infinite array of lightly fermented beverages.
