I've been fermenting for decades and just use a stromg vinegar mix to clean my bottles. I've never used bleach before. If you want to make your own yeast, starter, grab a handful of fresh pine needles place them in a pint jar, fill it with water, add about 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix it well. I about 2-3 days, the culture will be active as the yeast on the pine needles will start comsumimg the sugar. For a gallon of sassafras tea with sugar added off course, use a cup of this starter. In 2 days it will be quite fermented. You can also use kombucha, water kefir, dandelin root culture, etc to make a sparkling probiotic rich brew. Cheers mate!

Use star san instead of bleach

I have a beautiful mimosa tree in my yard. After hearing it is a high source of dmt I began eating the flowers for mood improvement. It works

Isnt there some sort of cancer concern with Sassafras root due to Safrole?

A side note about it being a carcinogen. A perfectly legal food ingredient is highly carcinogenic, alcohol. Dose makes the poison.

Most people in my part of Ga. ,call it a sugerberry. tree .

The commercial stuff uses artificial flavor because the sassafras was found to be carcinogenic.

Thanks!

You should use a Ginger bug to make root beer. The Ale yeast will continue to multiply and eventually ferment all the sugar and explode they bottles.

Good for sleeping to.

Kvas is another good one .

You would not need nearly that much bleach. One tablespoon for 5 gallons would be plenty

A little known fact is that since sassafras has medicinal uses the U.S. government has deen using toxins to wipe it out. Same with most medical or edible plants.

My granddaddy had these growing on his place in Alabama. He just called them Bay Trees. I always thought that was because they grew near the bay or Beaver Pond.

The leaves are Cancer causing so be careful. Not sure about the roots.

Big pharma stopped it.

Why was real root beer flavors outlawed?

Thank You for being you Matthew.

Interestingly MDMA (XTC) is made from sassafras oil

I tried the tea made from bark in higher concentration than you stated. I did not "feel" anything. Did I err somehow?

I mean... That's not a true mimosa..

No bleach needed just boiling water

I have no idea how I got here but I do love root beer so this is super cool.

My grandmother had one. We climbed it and called it the helicopter tree, iykyk. They seemed to disappear awhile back. Went on a drive last weekend and saw a ton. I kept exclaiming, "There's a Mimosa!" Now I get this video in my feed, lol.

Don't forget Ginger ale.

Sassafras my ass.

Matthew--fyi--when pouring from a full jug--bleach--rotate jug 180 degrees--won't spill

Use starsan for sanitizing food contact materials. It is simply an acid than has no off taste. Rinsing undoes the sanitizing. With starsan you don't need to rinse it.

Great video!

In the 1940s my Dad was on college break and made 4 or 5 jugs of root beer. He put the glass gallon jugs on his enclosed porch for several days to ferment/carbonate. About the 3rd day he had an appointment so he quickly put the dog on the porch and left. When he came home the dog was whimpering in the corner and broken glass, root beer and dog poop covered the porch. Imagine how the trapped dog felt as those huge grenades exploded one by one.

Someone please help. I have a mimosa tree and want to make tea from the flowers but they are infested with little white worms about a 1/4". Do I just wash them off or what. 7/5/2024. Thanks.

This plant grows wild like a weed in my yard .a friend gave me one and told me what it was. I done lots of different drugs in my life .and this one I will NOT touch or thinking of trying.im 50 and still like my weed and shrooms . haven't done LSD in a long time . but this is all over my pr property now it seems to reset itself everywhere and anywhere it's like a weed now my five son is know exactly what it is and they won't even touch it

Wintergreen leaves are even stronger than sassafras, and birch bark is very strong too, although they all have differences, id like to see someone brew with all 3.

Sassafras has toxins that are unhealthy for your liver. If you want to partake, fine, but you shouldn’t offer it to others. More specifically, other people’s kids.

Awesome tutorial. Now I know how to identify this tree!

Mate.. bleach is bad.. you can sterilise with a half teaspoon of citric acid in a half pint of water..... mixed with..... .a half teaspoon of sodium metabisulphate in a half pint of water ... to make up 1 pint... just use a little of this to wipe everything with cotton wool and rinse with clean water.. dont sniff it though it'll make your eyes water. ha

I'm quite familiar with the tree, but have never seen any large quantities of fruit on the trees or on the ground under them. If I had to live off wild fruit, it would be native persimmons. They dry easily in dry weather, just mash them carefully to about 1/4 or less of their normal thickness. The seeds pop out easily when the fruit is fully dried. Pitfalls to avoid though: The fruit must be ripe and of eating quality. The astringent "pucker" will remaiin in underripe fruit or in the fruit from high tannin selections, so don't put the work into preserving persimmon fruit that's not top quality to start with.

I have seen the roots/tubers turn green when exposed to the sun. This is most likely poisonous. This is a consideration with irish potatoes as well. Must be stored in the dark and thrown away if it turns green from sun exposure.

i do it every year love it and free

To speed things up you could always used Sparkling Water, or Club Soda I made some Ginger Ale 2 weeks ago Once a person knows how to make Root Beer or Ginger ale they will never go back to buying it.

What the heck is he talking about. I'm not eating or drinking weeds

Don’t use bleach for cleaning your bottles. Use unscented OxiClean. It’s safer and won’t ruin the flavour with chlorine.

My parents made their own root beer when I was a kid growing up in Maine. It was wonderful.

I get a burning sensation in the back of my mouth and throat when I take this tea.

Informative and well-presented, thank you. I'm 66 and even when I was a kid, major brand root beers were already being made without sassafras. I remember I wasn't a big fan of root beer then, but then I tried a smaller local brand and loved it - clearly they were using sassafras. We do get sassafras trees up my way in PA, not too many, but I love the way they smell when I pick a leaf and bruise it. Not enough of 'em to harvest for their roots, I'm afraid, but I will try to purchase some root.

@Legacy Wilderness Academy Hi Matt, is there a channel you know that covers the North Eastern Plants? I’m in New England. TYIA.

Boil the roots and get dmt....

My Dad told me they used to make homemade root beer when he was a kid in the 30’s -40’s. They saved beer bottles which were used to make it. Once the preparation was poured into the bottles and sealed with corks, they laid the bottles down flat in the grass and waited…. Sometimes a bottle would pop its cork 😅

Just the tip😂😂😂😂😂

I knew Darryl's mentor Tommy Bass, awesome people.
