Oh, what memories!  My mother regularly made root beer some 30+ years
ago, when I was very young; it was, in fact, the only carbonated 
beverage I remember from those early years.  Mom always bottled it
in canning jars (the type with the glass lids and wire bales).  I
don't know if this type of bottling is more hazardous than regular
capped bottles (I do remember an occasional accident), but this might
be an alternative for people who have canning jars and don't want to
invest in a capper.

I think I'm going to look for extract when I go shopping this week...
