However, we found the Mr. Root Beer Kit to be about as fool-proof as possible. The instructions are simple, clear, and thoroughly explained. In fact, the entire process (including illustrations) fits onto three small pages.

We love the simple, easy-to-follow instructions of the Mr. Root Beer Kit.

Valved caps prevent soda explosions

The process of carbonation creates pressure inside of the bottle. Without a pressure valve, it's quite possible for your container to explode (which is why dropping Mentos into 2L bottles is so fun).

However, it's not so fun when explosions happen inside your pantry (or other dark, room temperature place you choose for the carbonation of your tasty root beer). Thankfully, the Mr. Root Beer Kit includes caps with a release valve to prevent such mishaps.

Fear not the exploded root beer bottle! Special caps are included to prevent over-pressurization.

Just add sugar!

The Mr. Root Beer Kit comes with virtually everything you need to craft your own homemade root beer. All you need to provide is white granulated sugar and dark brown sugar.

Armed with your sugar and the Mr. Root Beer Kit, you can create two gallons of deliciously smooth and creamy root beer.

The Mr. Root Beer Kit includes nearly everything you need to brew your own root beer.

Question: What does naturally carbonated mean?
