Ginger beer method newbie question

Vivalamia

Hey guys
I am brewing my first batch of ginger beer after reading a few methods.
Basically there’s two I’ve read most about and I want to know which is the preferred method.
1. Start a bug in a small jar with water yeast and sugar, feed for a week or so then add with a large quantity and then bottle.
2. Start with yeast, ginger, sugar in a large 20L bucket/carboy and let it do its thing for 1-2 weeks then bottle with more sugar for carbonation.
Is there a major difference in end result between these two methods? I’m looking for a nice strong alcoholic brew. Thanks
