I am fairly new to the brewing experience with only about 15 kits and 1 all grain brewed so far. My question is this.
1. A friend wants me to try a "Not Your Fathers Root Beer Beer" clone not something I really care for but willing to do it for him. I found a recipe on Beer Smith Cloud and it calls for "Crude Root Beer Ingredient kit" What is that?
2. I assume it is more than just a 4oz bottle of root beer extract. I see some ingredient kits some with extract and some with out. Also they seem to have some items I assume I should not be using in a beer recipe ie: Kit includes 3 lbs of honey, 2 lbs of sugar, champagne yeast etc. If a buy one of these kits which ingredients am I supposed to be using?
3. Anyone have any guidance or experience on this topic?
