Just curious here...a former co-worker and I used to talk [OK, HE talked, I listened] about making whiskey at home...NOT for sale, but for personal use/"medicinal purposes." At one point he was talking about making his mash from sweet horse feed [cracked corn, cracked oats, and molasses, primarily], sugar, and yeast. Another time he was talking about buying a yard-sale pressure cooker and some soft copper tubing [as opposed to "hard copper" pipe] to make the basis of the "still."
Now...I'm still curious if making whiskey at home, for personal use, is looked upon differently by the authorities than home brewing of beer is. I know state laws may vary, but does anyone know what the federal ramifications may or may not be? Seems like there are a LOT of "Mr. Beer" kits out there; wondering why it would be different.
Anyone have any firsthand knowledge? And I'm referring to US laws, not Canadian or Mexican laws. Thanks for any knowledgeable replies.
