How to make ginger beer.

How yeast ferments drinks. 

Equipment:

• Saucepan
• Mesh strainer
• funnel

Ginger beer syrup ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger

Ginger beer ingredients:

• 1/8 tsp active dry yeast or brewer's yeast. 
• Add Ginger syrup (ingredients above)
• 3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed 
• 7 cups of filtered water. 

Caution: 

Clean any bottle you find. 

You have to make sure you always open the bottle every day to release the extra gas. Or the bottle might explode. 

Method:

1. Peel a chunk of the ginger with the tip of a teaspoon, grate it using the fine side of your grater. And then place the ginger, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Then steer the sugar until it dissolves. Turn off the heat and leave it for an hour. 
2. Pour three or four tablespoons of your syrup over ice and add 8 ounces of seltzer water or club soda. Then bottle the rest of the syrup and store it in the refrigerator. 
3. Pour a little bit of yeast in and followed by the syrup, lemon juice, and water. 
4. Put the lid on the bottle and shake the concoction until the yeast dissolves. And place it on a shelf or pantry out of direct sunlight for 2-3 days. or until it fizzes. Then it's ready to drink but you must remember to restore it in the refrigerator to prevent further fermentation.

Result:
It smelled like alcohol and a bit sour. It tasted very disgusting because it was like alcohol and ginger mixed together. But I think older people might like it.
