Yeast is a living thing and it eats the glucose/sugar and the yeast and breathes out or releases Carbon Dioxide /CO₂ and it excrete alcohol, this process is called Respiration.

What are the best conditions for brewing?

Based on google, the best condition to brew your ginger beer is to keep it in warm temperature and keep mixing it.

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

There is a difference between these drinks, vodka has the highest alcohol level out of beer, cider and whiskey. 

Result:

When I first smelled it, it smelled so bad that the scent can't erase easily. Mr Stock tasted it, but based on his facial expression, it looked like that my ginger beer was bad.

Based on google, the reason why it smelled bad is because of the bacteria that has snuck on my ginger beer.
