Distilled Spirits

[SNC]

So when Johnny Law busts down my door and discovers my bathtub gin operation, I just tell him it's for bathing--an en vogue European anti-aging spa treatment!

It's a good thing you didn't say grappa or I would have blackmailed you into handing over a few bottles. I've been looking for some homemade grappa to blend with a 3 year old Dwojniak made with black walnut honey.

If you are running a still inside you are doing it wrong.

Where do you think the term "bathtub gin" came from?

Reefer madness = distillation madness.

Bathtub gin I think refers to taking bootleg grain spirits and flavoring them in a bathtub, I dont think it refers to actually distilling them.

Should be legal. Should have some sort of personal use exemption. Show require permit by local cities etc for larger scale (over say 1/2 gallon pot...something). Taxes on Alcohol are anachronisms from a long ago age. Same with having two tier distribution for alcohol. Why should I pay to have youngs market monopolize the price and supply of a free market product. This is u'mer'ca home of the gentle hand of capitalism. If you dig into most of these laws you will find the rotting roots or crony autocrats who own large companies and get paid lots of money to control and restrict what should be free trade. These are the same bitches that whine about how great capitalism is and how the govt needs to stay of the way of business...oh, but keep those laws in place the help me and my family make a fortune.

Should be fixed.

I haven't looked it up but i bet you are right. The mash is probably made in a bathtub.
