The problem with home distilling isn’t so much the distilling as it is the aging. Not everyone’s wife wants a rack of whisky barrels in the living room for 5-15 years.

The real problem with home distilling is the risk of fire and explosion from pure ethanol fumes.

However, I can see it becoming poopular if some top decorators figured out a way to make it a great design area.Sofa-shaped barrels? Seasonal slipcovers? Big contests housewives would try to win ((if they could still stand up).

And failure to discard the first and last 10% for safety reasons.
