How to make a Home made ginger beer

Aim:


I want to find out how to make ginger beer.


Method:

I need:

water,ginger,Lemon Juice,sugar and yeast.


Combine:
1. 600 ml  water (cold or room temp)- if its too hot you'll cook and kill your yeast.
2.1 tsp yeast
3.Ginger juice
4. 4 tsp sugar- provides food for the yeast and multiply
5. juice of 2 lemons- provides and acidic environment that helps prevent other bacteria from taking over.
6. stir all of this in the jar, cover the jar with some fabric or a paper towel and place jar in a warm area
7.Everyday for the next week feed your yeast with ginger powder and 4 tsp sugar and stir in.
8.After a week, pour the ginger beer through cheese cloth and drink.

Result:
When i smelt the ginger beer it smelt like  raw ginger.
What does it taste like: it taste like spicy ginger putted in your mouth.
When i shook it it made bubbles.

Discussion:

What is yeast: a microscopic fungus consisting of single oval cells that reproduced by budding, and capable of converting sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
What did the yeast do in the ginger beer: I'm about to brew a ginger beer and was wondering if the choice of yeast is as important in a ginger beer, where the ginger dominates the flavour.
What are some other good uses of yeast:  brew beer., make chocolate
what are other bad uses of yeast: bad bacteria

What are some interesting questions that I would like to find out about this experiment: if its going to be yummy or disgusting
