has found many stills operating on
garbage, with half-rotten banana
skins, watermelon rinds, potato
peelings, etc, appearing IN the

not much better than that done for

amateurs to keep their stills at
proper temperature result in the

in their back yards or cellars. The
ingredients are mainly carbonated
