Been busy today. Kegged a root beer, currently brewing my chocolate maple porter.
Also trying to get the one pound mystery IPA (SMASH with 1 lbs. of orbit hops) to pour from the keg; think I may have let too much sediment flow into the keg... goddamn it.
How did you make the root beer? This is something I've always been curious to do to have a tap for people that don't want to drink.
If the sediment was yeast then it will settle out in the keg. If it was hops something you can do is wrap cheesecloth or paint strainer bag around the intake of the siphon, I've found it helps quite a bit.
It was just a bottle of root beer extract, but I am planning to do one from scratch this summer when I can go pick some wintergreen. The one I kegged today was fermented then back sweetened with lactose, but it would be even easier if you anted a non alcoholic version.
They have the extract at noble grape, think it is $7 for enough to do a 5 gal batch. And I'll post the real root beer recipe when I brew it.
