Making one’s own properly is a popular hobby, discretely- as most do not know that making distilled spirits (not wine or beer for personal consumption to 80 gallons) of any kind is still a federal crime. It assumes one would be selling it- which is also a federal crime without a license to do so.

Everyone knows the feds killed Popcorn (he killed himself vs a ridiculous late in life sentence to FedPen). Hopefully this Sutton isn’t ripping off from a fake recipe. It is impossible to prove it’s his, though.
