Anyone Brew beer???

[amyquilt]

I just mentioned home brewing and wine to my DH the other day. I'll have to show him this thread. I think it is something he and I would both enjoy.

I have an ebook with home made wine recipes and home brewed beer recipes. If anyone would like these, email me and let me know and I'll forward to you via email

DH has been looking at starting this as a hobby.

no makeing shine for yourself is not illegal as long as you dont sell it you can only make so much at a time. i have a foxfire book that shows you how to make a still only big enough to make like 1 to 2gallons at a time.

it IS illegal in ANY amount even if for personal use and it carries a 5 year sentance if caught. usually they charge for the tax evasion and money laundering since it is a higher penalties of up to 15 years for the money laundering alone. just because the don't crack down on it so much anymore doesn't mean the federal law doesn't still stand because if made wrong it creates a harful product known as methonal. methonal can cause blindness, death and many other things. "Permits and licenses are required so that the government can make sure the alcohol being produced is safe. Plus, the Feds want to get their tax money. " homebrewed beer and wine making were legalized in 1970's but not distilling alcohol. ATFE is who controls it now.

Not true. Take a look. Heck, in Missouri you can make up to 200 gallons a year without a permit.
