I was wondering what kind of alchohol you can legally make for personal use?

Answer 1

Federal law allows for 50 gallons a year of home made fermeted beverage...beer or wine. Home distilation is illiegal, as is freezing fermented drinks, but it is a good way to get straight booze....also...I once ran some home made red wine through a backpackers water filter, just to see what would happen...that dark red wine came out crystal clear, and about as strong as vodka!

Answer 2

Lord I tried making beer one time but we got all the mixtures wrong and that drum blew up when we put outside. It smelled like a rendering plant everywhere and my neighbor got really mad cause the lid flew through his screen porch and that nasty beer stuff covered his trailer and car. I had to move soon after that.

Answer 3

Assuming you're in the US, you're allowed to make up to 100 gallons per adult (one of legal drinking age - 21) in the household. That's 100 gallons of beer and 100 gallons of wine.

Distillation of any kind is strictly forbidden without a federal permit.

Answer 4

Beer and wine are o.k. Harder liquors requires stills and in some places you need a permit or it is banned all together.

Answer 5

just call yourself an old school moonshiner and get yourself a still and a dream. If they don't catch you, you can distill anything.

Answer 6

You can make any kind you want for personal use.

Answer 7

Depends on the state/local government.
