Homemade Root Beer

This is my brother-in-laws recipe. It's always a delicious addition to a family gathering!

3 – 5 gallons cold water (depending on how sweet you want it, use less water)
5 lbs. white sugar
2 oz. bottle of root beer concentrate
5 lbs. dry ice

Place all but one gallon of the cold water in a large container. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Pour in root beer extract and mix. Add the dry ice and put the lid on loosely so the gas can escape. Be sure that no one touches the dry ice with bare hands! Let it brew for about 15 minutes. Add the last gallon of water and let brew for another 15 minutes.
