This rootbeer kit is great. It is easy and fun to use. If your rootbeer is flat, you probably didn't let it sit in a warm, dark place long enough. It also tastes a lot better if you refrigerate it overnight before drinking it. Hope this helps.

I purchased this for my husband and he was like a kid making his own Root Beer. It was very easy to make, and tastes great! I highly recommend this for any age.

I bought this product for my 5 year-old son who, when he first heard about a "home root beer making kit", just had to have one. We've only made one batch so far, but it was easy to understand and make. The first bottle was a little flat, but still tasted good over some ice cream. The other bottles had varying degrees of carbonation because we were experimenting w/ the fermenting time, but I believe in another batch or so, we will have it down pat and will be making perfect home root beer for quite some time! It was fun and, in my opinion, worth the money. It's a great family-time activity.

We had a blast making this product with our kids....it's very simple and easy for them to help. We thought the Rootbeer was very tasty. We're coming back for more!!

Bought for the kids to have something to do as I am a homebrewer myself. They learn some science and also how to follow directions and the importance sterilization during the mixing process. The root beer tastes great. If you follow the instructions to the T it is carbonated and tastes fantastic. They will have fun making their 2nd batch.

I bought this kit for my 7-year old nephew who likes science and root beer. He was SOOO excited, and we had a lot of fun doing it together. Like other reviewers, our first batch came out too flat, but tasted good. We're going to try another batch and see if we can get more carbonation. He is already planning his "root beer stand" to sell frothy mugs to the neighbors. Highly recommended! (Update 12/09: our second batch was perfect--much fizzier. We left the bottles somewhere less chilly to ferment for 3 days, and then transferred them to the fridge when they were firm to the touch.)

I honestly liked Mr. RootBeer better and I expected I would. I expected it be be more difficult than it was, but it was really quite easy to make. I also worried about not refrigerating at the right time, but it was pretty obvious when they were ready. (At 76 degrees it was 48 hours.) I took a lot of time when cleaning all the kitchen utensils. $25 for 2 gallons of homemade root beer and the fun making it was worth it. The refills are only $6 for 2 more gal. Good luck!

The Mr. Root Beer kit is very simple and comes with everything you need to make your own root beer. Our first attempt at making the root beer went well, but we put it in the fridge just a bit too soon. The flavor is great, but by putting it in too soon it isn't hardly carbonated at all. Next time around we know a little better what to expect, so it should be even better!

This product was easy to use and lots of fun ... and believe it or not the final product actually tastes GREAT! A must-buy for any family adventure.

This was my first time ever making root beer. It's so good! It tastes like it's from a soda fountain, except stronger. Everyone in my house loved it. It can be a little time consuming, but good things usually are.
