Results,

I tasted like crap, I don't like gingerbeer already but this was way worst 0/10 I think i'm going to throw up  

What is Fermentation?

Yeast will eat the sugar and breath out CO2 or known as Carbon Dioxide.

What are best conditions for brewing 

For normal ale Fermentation temperatures can range from 60 to 78 °F  but for larger fermentations can go from 45 to 55 °F
