5 hour Root Beer

Grandma used to make this every summer. I'm not even sure you can buy root beer extract anymore.
Yield 1 gallon
1 tsp dry yeast
1/2 c warm water
4 tsp root beer extract
2 c sugar
Dissolve yeast in the half cup of warm water. Add root beer extract and sugar, mix well. Pour into a one gallon jug and add warm water to fill. Screw lid on and let rest at room temperature for 5 - 6 hours. Do not let it stay longer than this. Place in refrigerator for 2 days. A clean 1 gallon plastic milk jug works well for this.
