I always thought that it was ok to make one’s own alcohol as long as it was for one’s consumption.

It depends on the laws of the state you do it in. It doesn't become a federal crime until you try to transport it.

My grandfather used to make small amounts of homemade wine in North Carolina. He'd take a gallon jug down to the county tax office and pay the tax on it. Then they'd give him a stamp to put on it.

Nowadays, beer and wine is okay, but distilled spirits are not legal without federal permission, not even for your own consumption.

Beer and wine yes, no for distilled alcohol.
