It tastes like........ my dog's left overs while smelling like moulded bread and chicken with a side of barf and worms. it tasted so horrid my tongue almost killed itself. It smelt like my granddads beer factory

Discussion:

What is fermentation?

The yeast is a living think and it eats the Glucose and it makes CO2 and it also excretes alcohol.


What are the best conditions for brewing?

The normal temperatures for brewing ale is 20° to 22° and you need to keep light out of the batch of beer. You want the pH level to be either 5.2 - 5.4 so its higher then orange juice but less than distilled water so its just in a little bit less than the middle.

What is the difference between beer, cider, wine, vodka, whiskey?

Vodka is brewed for 6 years and must have at lest 40% alcohol and is brewed by potatoes,
