Making booze . distilling your own is illegal in all but a couple states .
my family made moon shine for who know how many decades maybe a few hundred years truth be told.
and im not talking rot gut . Im talking about some fine corn based and fruit based and rye and even some barley .
you can make some really good rye shine then age in in a barrel and turn out some fine booze or get a used wine barrel worked great.
you should be able to make so much a year for your own use and age so much.say a total of 30 gallons or so maybe 48 that allows to to put 24 or so in barrels and have plenty to use a 1/2 gallon a week is not unreasonable .
