Gladesmen: Gator Hunters, Moonshiners, and Skiffers

This book explains how Everglade frontiersmen distilled swamp water. They used a 5-gallon can for a boiler and a coil of 3/8 inch copper tubing for a condenser. The condenser coil was cooled in a second 5-gallon lard can full of water. (ISBN: 0813015731) Glen Simmons and Laura Ogden. $24.95 Cloth. 5-3/4 x 8-1/2. 224p. index illus.

Try less sprouts at first

Like the article suggests, I tried sprouting 1.5 cups of mung beans (didn't have enough for 2 cups) in one of those quart (32oz) yogurt tubs.
 
I soaked them at 10pm and the next day the beans had expanded enough to fill the tub. I had to divide them and put half of them in another tub and just rinse. This is the third day and the tubs are pretty much full to the top.
 
If try this at home remember to eat quite a lot of them the second day or place half of them in a similar tub of yogurt or they will overflow
 
Now if I could get ahold of some good sprout recipes...
