@ibstubro, it doesn’t surprise me that government regulations tell us, “There are numerous requirements that must be met that make it impractical to produce spirits for personal or beverage use. Some of these requirements are paying excise tax, filing an extensive application, filing a bond, providing adequate equipment to measure spirits, providing suitable tanks and pipelines, providing a separate building (other than a dwelling) and maintaining detailed records, and filing reports.”
Somewhere down the line, we allowed regulations that made it “impractical.”
