moonshine??

[Asc.rudeboy]

to the LEOs,
then was the last time you arrested someone for making moonshine? is that something you would even care about..and what are the regs. on what you could be arrested for,,just tired if hearing rumors,iv heard you would have to pay the tax on what youve made,if its not for sale its legal??? but i dont think any distilled liqure is allowed for personal use or not.

I've always wanted to get some moonshine cuz I've never tried it. Bet it would put hair on my n....chest.

 

[flamatrix99]

I had some when I was visiting West Virginia... It'll knock your socks off!

You can make moonshine legally, along with beer, wine, and other hard liquors. It is the selling of said alcohol that is illegal. I make my own wine.......I'm legally allowed to make up to 200 gals per year. I can give it away to friends and family but cannot get paid for it. That's called bootlegging.

moonshine arrests? never. I'm sure bayoupiper will know something soon enough though

as far as i know liqours made threw the distilation process is illegal,,,but i dont know the laws and punishment involved..you can get a permit to do it but you have to be able to make a ass load to beble to make it and sell,it but private consumption is still illegal..

beer,wine,courdials dont fall under this catagory

I thought it wad to be below a certain proof to be legal that moonshine is like 180 proof or something.

It takes like ass, just like everclear and rubbing alcohol

My Grandpa in Alabama made moonshine all the way up until he died. I tried it. Def not for the weak.

All of his stuff is still in the big barn.

Drink everclear or diesel straight, pretty much just like that. Slightly different taste, but same effect. If you try to chug it and are not used to it, it makes eyes water, nose runs, can't breathe and the splash when it hits in your gut it is wild!

That is federal level stuff from what I understand. I had a DWI arrest where the guy admitted to making moonshine, and that is what he was drunk off of. We recovered the 'shine from his vehicle too...mason jar in the cup holder.

We talked to the Sgt, the LT, the CAPT and none of them could FIND a statute for moonshine or anything of the sort. We called our narc's, since they have people in the ATF (The "A" part is what we needed) and had an ATF agent on the phone in about 5 mins. He said it is federal level, that we couldn't bring the charges against them, and that they would have to. Since it was such a low volume thing, they wouldn't even concern themselves with it.

Now, that isn't a straight answer, but I think it tells you what you need to know. As long as you aren't trying to distill it for mass consumption and sale, you'll be fine.

A friend of mine had an uncle that was busted in Kentucky for making moonshine . He served time in a Federal pen in Texas . The old guy told me that he made a still while in prison . Sold it to another inmate when he got out .

+billions on the Moonshine & Homemade Wine!

 

[Kraut]

Yeah, it's selling it that's a problem, and you have to be careful even giving it away. One of my instructors way back when in kollidge was a former ATF agent, said he'd had to arrest on a warrant they were sent out on, guy made his own, drank his own, but had been giving some to friends and it got him hooked up. I couldn't quote statutes or anything, though.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Oh and build, dont buy. Paper trail. Heres a path to the dark side for you. (http://homedistiller.org/static_menu.htm) or my favorite (www.green-trust.org/still.pdf)

 

[Asc.rudeboy]
