The guts of it are that it was too bitter, a bit salty, not sweet enough, had some nasty taints of lactose and a few gritty bits and seemed to be more work than it probably should be. On the net I found a promising recipe in BYO magazine and had a go at it that did not turn out well at all (recipe below with my comments in red). I have also bought from a spice wholesaler in Qld: powdered liquorice root (tastes great on sampling) and powdered sarsaparilla root (does not taste very sarsaparillary). So I have purchased from America, liquid sarsaparilla extract (smells great and makes me want to roll in it but is quite expensive) and root beer extract powder.
LACTOSE IN BEERSMITH FREE
Just in case any of the free settlers get upset, I am not grizzling, I just making an observation I have not yet found Sarsaparilla flavoured cordial in SA and there a not many brands or much quantity of Sarsaparilla softdrink stocked in Adelaide supermarkets. I have also noted that Sarsaparilla flavour does not seem to be as popluar in South Australia as it is in Qld. I think BBD Horehound was more of a Root Beer flavour (which I belive is slightly different to sarsaparilla) but either way I like both flavours.
LACTOSE IN BEERSMITH PC
I've looked at the ingredients in commercial non-alco sarsaparilla such as Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Sarsaparilla "contains no artificial colours Traditionally brewed to a genuine old recipe from real sarsaparilla root, licorice root, vanilla beans and molasses".īeing that I used to live in QLD I am familiar with Bundy Brewed Drinks and am sure they used to have a slightly different Sarsaparilla drink that they used to call "Horehound", maybe they decided it didn't sound PC enough anymore! Probably sounds a bit like "Milf Hunter" or such. I can't find a decent alco sars or root beer recipe! So countless hours searching the net for recipes yields a lot of root beer recipes out of the States that are non-alcoholic. I recommend everyone try a good old pint of it as a small glass just isn't enough (neither is one pint really!) I'd love to be able to make a good alco sars brew to enjoy at home (and score heaps of points with SWMBO and friends). It is very Moorish and would put a horn on a jellyfish.
It is mild at first but builds on the palette and lingers.
It is the benchmark for stuff I'd like to brew and enjoy at home. I've tried " Tusker Draught Root Beer" at the Lighthouse Tavern, Port Adelaide :super: and it is great. So I have a hankering for alco sars and have not yet been able to nail it. I have written a bit of a discussion of what I did (or as it seems, what I did wrong). Recipe help wanted: Alcoholic sarsaparilla
