making ginger beer

I need:

Water, Ginger, Lemon Juice, Sugar, Yeast


Combine:

  1. 600 ml water (cold or room temp - if its hot you'll cook and kill your yeast) 
  2. 1 tsp yeast 
  3. Ginger juice 
  4. 10 tsp Sugar - Provides food for the yeast to use and multiply 
  5. juice of 2 lemons - provides an 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 3 tsp sugar and stir in. 
  8. After a week, pour the ginger beer through cheese cloth and drink.



What is that stuff at the bottom?
When I looked at the bottle, I noticed gross floating stuff  at the bottom of my bottle. That is the yeast growing as it eats the sugar of my ginger beer .

What does it smell like?
When I took the lid off and smelled the liquid, there is a strong smell of ginger combined with soy sauce and real beer but stale

What does it taste like?
When I tasted the drink , it left a fresh sting of ginger on my tongue. The ginger makes it spicy. The yeast has eaten all the sugar so it does not taste too sweet that we threw up

What happens if you shake it?
When I shook the bottle, it started to fizz. This is Carbon dioxide it is a gas that will fizz your ginger beer
Discussion:

What is yeast?  yeast is a living creature that snacks on sugar
What did the yeast do in the Ginger Beer?    not sure
What are some other good uses of Yeast?  to make beer
What are some other bad uses of Yeast?    to leave the yeast in ginger beer and drink it
What are some interesting questions that I would like to find out about this experiment?  how the yeast moves around.

    How the Earth was made

    youtube clip of how the Earth was made


    • If the oldest rocks came from space that is were they will start
    Image result for oldest rocks from space

    • 4 and a half billion years ago the sun was surround by a cloud of dust.
     cloud of dust
    • As the cloud dust cooled little grains and minerals formed.
    • The minerals begins to clump together.
    • All clumped together by static electricity.

    • If the rocks hit each other they connect to each other and makes a star that has not formed properly.
    • After 30 million years ago the Earth finally formed to its self like here we are now.

    Did you know : The gravity pulls you in not up or down.

    The bigger the object grows the faster the object goes through space.

    Did you know : the Earth has 3 layers same to an apple accept different layers but core is the same.
    Then the earth melted in to a big ball of lava.

    govhttp://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_931.html

    All the metals sank and all the rocks floated.



    • How does the earth dry?  do you know chocolate wizz that hardens after the heating on your ice cream the earth cooled and made the earth before the water and life !!!!!. 
    • In 1974 more planets came to be.
    • people say another planet about the size of mar's crashed into the earth.
    • the Moon formed when another planet crashed into the earth.
    • All the rocks blown into space collected together to make the moon.
    • Oceans were around basically when the Earth was born.
    • water existed in space when the Earth was born.

    • each rock in Space contains at least a drop of Ocean.
    • every time a meteorite hits the forming Earth it grows the Ocean water.
    • with out life the Earth wont be like it today.
    • a piece of the meteorite contained acids life cant exist with out them.
    • Amino Acids are attracted together.
    • the bacteria breathed out a gas call oxygen
