Making Ginger Beer

Aim:

I want to find out how to brew ginger beer.

How to make Alcohol

How to make Ginger Beer

Fermentation process

Method: 

Equipment: 

• Plastic cup
• Marker 
• Powdered ginger 
• Water
• Sugar
• Spoon
• Lemon juice
• Yeast

Instructions:

1. Get your equipment.
2. Write your name with a marker on the plastic cup.
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. 

Making Sherbet (Science)

Aim 

I want to know how to make Sherbet. 

Research:

Method: 

Equipment:

• Citric Acid
• Raro (Raspberry?) 
• Baking Soda 
• Paper
• Plastic cup
• wooden Popsicle stick  

Instructions: 

1. First get your equipment.
2. Pour your Citric Acid, Raro and Baking Powder on the piece of paper separated. 
3. Get your cup and Popsicle stick and scoop SOME of the ingredients with your stick and taste.
4. If the flavour isn't right, scoop a little more until your satisfied with the taste. 
5. Bring home and enjoy.  

Result:

it was really sour even if I added a little citric acid. But overall it tasted okay. When I added water to the leftover ingredients it started to fizz up and it got bubbly, some of the fizzed up ingredients got in my open wound and it stung a lot. 

Discussion: 

Why did it foam? - when baking soda touches a liquid the gas (carbon dioxide) creates bubbles that are surrounded by the liquid that create foam.  

Blind Taste testing

Aim: 

I want to find out if food tastes differently when you cant see or cant smell. 

Research 

Blind Taste and smell (science) 

Funny eating 

Science of taste. 

Method:

Equipment 

• Blind fold
• Mystery food

Instructions

1. Get your equipment. 
2. wash your hands.
3. Put your blindfold on.
4. Take your hand out and pinch/cover your nose.
5. Once the food is placed on your hand, eat your food and guess what it is. 
6. Release your food and taste the food. 
7. Where the does the food react on your tongue.

Results: 

Hot Chilli

 Aim: 

I want to find out the best way to cool down your tongue after eating hot chilli

Research:

Method:

Equipment: 

• Hot chilli sauce
• Popsicle sticks
• Drinks - soda, water, milk
• Timer

Instructions: 

1. Get your equipment ready. 
2. Get a drop of hot sauce on your Popsicle stick. 
3. Lick the hot chilli sauce. 
4. Start the timer.
5. After 2 minutes drink your drink.
6. After 5 mins, how hot is your mouth?
7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink. 

Results: 

I didn't do the experiment because I don't like sauces, I typed up peoples opinions in results. 

The first chilli was okay, we did it without any drinks and I am scoring it a 7 for burning

The second chilli was hotter than the first one, I rated it a 8.5 but after drinking water 

The third chilli wasn't that bad, I rated it a 4 after drinking coke it didn't really effect anything. 

The last one was not that bad since I got used to it i rated it a 2, but after drinking milk the chilli settled down. 

Discussion: 

Why does chilli burn your mouth? 

When you eat the chilli, capsaicin goes into your saliva and sticks on to the TRPV1 receptors (a protein in the human gene which has many variations), after this it triggers the receptors and sends off a signal to your brain which makes it think that your mouth is burning. 

Why does milk reduce the burn?
