Just curious if any of you have carbonated root beer in a keg for your kids. My
5-year-old son (Jake) and I put the sugar, water, and root beer concentrate in the keg
last night. I'm picking up more CO2 today.
Any idea how long I should charge it so we have enough carbonation--but not too much?
Thanks!

I just keep adjusting it till its about right, the same as with my
beer. I leave a little head space (~1 gal) in the keg, push as much
CO2 in as I can (~30 psi), chill it, and wait a few days. You could
agitate the keg and have it ready a lot sooner. You'll want to use
less sugar if not carbonating with yeast. Perhaps, Glewwe can tell
us how he does it.

New subject: ROOT BEER
Yes I have. I have a keg that I only use for root beer, because the
flavor gets into all of the gaskets, and a tap only used for root beer.
I've made surgar free too using equal or a couple of other sugar
substitutes.
Make sure you absorbe all of the surgar in hot water before adding it
to the get. I once mixed in in the keg and pluged up the dip tube.
Force carbonated root beer is far better than any I tried making with
yeast in bottles, and safer because you risk the exploding bottles.
