Did you not read the first sentence on that page?
Wine or beer isn't liquor. Liquor is distilled spirits. It is against federal law to distill at home
Okay that's fair I didn't quite understand the statement, however you CAN distill as long as you REGISTER YOUR STILL for free via a permit application from the Tobacco and Alcohol Tax and Trade Bureau with the US Department of the treasury, because the above page specified
"5601(a)(1) – Possession of an unregistered still."
and you also cannot set it up in certain locations
"5601(a)(6) – Distilling on a prohibited premises. (Under 26 U.S.C. 5178(a)(1)(B), a distilled spirits plant may not be located in a residence or in sheds, yards, or enclosures connected to a residence.)"
Just be careful not to produce, remove, or trade your registered still without authorization.
They quoted it!
Big difference (in safety) between homebrew and moonshine.
(Ehhhh not really, if you know what you're doing and throw out the Methyl, which isn't hard, the only "danger" becomes the same as cooking: fire. It's kinda just some leftover prohibition era bullshit.)
