Can't sleep?

How about try making rootbeer at home?

Hunt & gather some stuff.
Your Shit


Dissolve 1/8 tbs. yeast in some warm soothing water.
Warm Like
Add that shit to an empty gallon jug with a little more water...

Add 2 1/2 cups of sweetness to your jug o' yeast water
Sucre

Because sweet yeast soda would taste a lot like shit- add your essence de jour. In this case we have a melange of sasperilla, birch, and vanilla. You need to have 1 Tbs. then add that 1 Tbs. to your gallon jug.
Mixalot
Cap it and shake it proper.


Take two 2 liter bottles from your recycling (or random 68 oz. jugs) and split your rootbeer mix evenly between the two containers. Finish off by filling each bottle with water until its about 1.5 - 2 inches from the top. Don't be a cheap-ass with the water either.

Cap it and shake it proper.

Sit there and stare at it for 4 days. On the forth day- check the scene. You can tell by the firmness of the two liter bottle how carbonated the soda is. If it's firm, drink it. If it's not feeling firm enough for you liking....No matter. Put it in the fridge at this point anyway. You can recap it tightly and it will continue to gain carbonation. Give it a few days and keep sampling. Unfortunately, it walks a very fine line between almost there and crap. Hopefully it will be pretty refreshing.
Who doesn't love refreshment?
