Today is "Repeal Day", the anniversary of the passing of the 21st Amendment to The Constitution, which when ratified by the States ended Prohibition. Since then, the Federal Government has graciously allowed individuals over the legal drinking age to brew 100 gallons per year of beer and/or wine if they live alone. If there are 2 or more adults of drinking age or older residing in the residence the limit is 200 gallons a year. This is for personal consumption with adult friends only, you cannot sell the product.
So when are they going to allow us to distill our spirits? Probably never, the tax revenues from alcohol are too dear to a Congresscritters heart.
Have a Hic...Hic...Hic...Happy Repeal Day!
