Down the hatch!
Mr. Izz decided to try out home brewing recently. His first attempt was a brown ale (Newcastle type stuff). The result was really pretty good! I was pleasantly surprised Here's a look at the end result (on Mr. Izz's messy desk):
Cheers!

I am not going to wade through the ATF regulations( I did enough of that when we had the winery) but, I do know that you are allowed to make 200 gal. of wine for your own personal use, so I'd assume that beers and ales would have a similar rule.brianc wrote:Is home distilling actually illegal - or is it the sale of privately-made spirits what is illegal?Cofaidh wrote:Home brew can be really really good stuff.
Home stilling can produce some equally good stuff.
It's the white lightin' that will get you in trouble- a guy off my mail route just got busted a few months ago for running a moonshine still. yep, that continues to be a lucrative way to turn corn into cash here in the mountains.

I think that home stilling is illegal in most countries.
That's why I need an uninhabited island not owned by any governing body and located in international waters. Preferably with a climate suited to growing barley.

OMG.
Don't you Yanks know anything? It looks nothing like 'broon', which the correct pronunciation. It is much lighter in colour and tastes like sugared methylated spirits.
A far better course would be to recreate Fed, the other Geordie brew, or import Doom Bar, Sam Smith's or Young's.

Played banjo as it only had five strings, so how the hell am I going to cope with six holes?

Tyler good sir, that would be a fate worse than death. I'm American and have deliberatly avoided Buttwidener for quite a few years. It's only worth what you pay for it if it's free.
Try Saint Arnold's or Arrogant basmati instead.

Hmmm.... 200 gallons per year, figuring a family of 4, divides to 50 gallons per person, divide by 52 for weeks in the year, works out to 0.9153846153846153846 gal/person/week.... hmmm... If I redistribute the 50 gal/year that the 14yo can't have, and the 50 gal that is ostensibly for the son who is away at college, and add in 50 gal for the 5th member of the family, who is actually about to be of legal consumption age, DH and I might be able to get by on 2 full gallons per week each! hmmm...Wanderer wrote:I can't think of any state where home stilling is legal.
I know that homebrewing is legal in Texas, 200gal a year beer or wine for a family. I never brewed more than about 20 gal a year of meads and beers.
