Yesterday, Bootleg Botanicals’ Root Beer Home Brew Kit launched through the crowd-funding site Kickstarter. Starting from $60 for the early bird special, the Root Beer Home Brew Kit is the first all-natural DIY Root Beer making product in 200 years.

The campaign offers backers a pre-order special on the complete Root Beer Kit which includes basic home brewing equipment, ingredients, Vegan-friendly Ale yeast, instructions and cocktail recipes. Every level includes free shipping throughout the United States and discounted shipping Internationally (a value ranging from $10 – $45 USD).

Ryan and Melanie Belshee, Bootleg Botanicals founders explain: “The recipe for the Root Beer brewing kit took 2 years of trial and error. It was challenging to find the right balance of natural ingredients and maintain the soda’s trademark coloring. After hundreds of failed attempts, we’re excited to introduce a Root Beer that is all natural and free of coloring or chemicals.”

Each Root Beer Home Brew Kit makes 1 gallon of finished soda. The kit is available as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic brew. The process takes about a week.
