I almost bought some <a href="http://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-DSatz/-strse-97/Indian-Sarsaparilla--dsh--2/Detail.bok" rel="nofollow">sarsaparilla</a>, but most recipes call for other roots as well. If you figure something out, I'd love to hear about it! I would really like to make root beer without an extract, but I just can’t figure out where to get all the roots.

Do you know if it’s possible (or advisable) to do root beer from scratch, using actual plants/whatever?

I think for four 16-oz bottles, it was 1 cup sugar (I'm pretty stingy with the sugar), 1 Tbsp extract, and "1/8 to 1/4 tsp" yeast. I'd go fairly easy on the yeast as the root beer is what exploded on me. (Whereas, for some reason, when I make birch beer, also using an extract, at the exact same time, with the exact same amount of yeast, it never seems carbonated enough, so I'm going to start using a tiny amount more yeast.)
