He then adds a couple of commonly available brewer's enzymes (to speed up the conversion of starch into sugar) and some baker's yeast (to bring about the fermentation). After fermentation is complete, which takes less than a week, the mess is dumped into a still, where the alcohol is boiled off. Basically just moon shiner's gear...
...first hour is merely one long pop corn break. An idealistic doctor (Robert Foxworth) and his pregnant wife (Talia Shire) move to the Maine woods. Once there they learn, in woefully elaborate detail, that a local paper mill is polluting the streams and driving Indians from their land.

Though beef will remain in short supply until ranchers finish rebuilding their still skimpy herds, pork production is at near record levels and poultry...

An ex-college wrestler is given brief command of his squad during his own basic training and learns that trying to be fair is a kind of condescension. A sophisticated Eastern writing teacher plays Pygmalion to a gifted but corn-fed coed in Iowa. A stoic, weanling New York lawyer is gently and blessedly maneuvered into an affair with a middle-aged woman. An incipient Washington administrator's friendship with a young Soviet reveals the bureaucratic fate that awaits them both...
