  • Powdered ginger 
  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Spoon
  • Lemon juice
  • Yeast

Instructions:
  1. Get your equipment.

  3. Put half a teaspoon of powdered ginger in the cup. 
  4. Pour half a cup of water inside the cup.
  5. Add one tablespoon of sugar into the cup. 
  6. if all of the sugar is at the bottom of your cup, start mixing your mixture with a spoon. 
  7. Add 5 drops of lemon juice into the cup. 
  8. Taste your mixture. If it tastes a bit weird adjust the flavour by adding other ingredients. 
  9. add one quarter of a teaspoon of yeast. 
  10. let it brew for 1 week. 

Result:

After 5 days we tried our "ginger beer" mine smelled like puke mixed in with yeast, I didn't taste mine because I didn't know what it would do to me. 

Discussion: 

What is Fermentation 
Yeast is a living thing, it eats glucose, breathes out CO2 and excretes Alcohol. This process is called Respiration. 

What is the best condition for brewing? 
The best condition for brewing alcohol is in a warm temperature.
