Aim: To shift the azeotrope of the ethanol and water mixture in ginger beer in order to produce more potent alcohol using thermodynamics.
Hypothesis: Different temperature states during the fermentation process will produce a variety of alcohol percentages in ginger beer.
Background Research:
In the modern beer brewing process, four basic ingredients--water, malt, hops (flowers of the Humulus lupulus plant), and brewing yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)--initiate myriad biological and chemical processes, including enzymatic digestion, fermentation, and isomerization, which must be harnes…
