What are “the rules” for home-brew beer as far as “distribution” goes? Can I give a case to my neighbor w/o a “tax-stamp”? I assume I cannot sell him a case? I would think most “home distillers” might not want the the expense of a still set-up w/o the ability to sell their ‘shine. Maybe not...legalize distilling for “personal use” and see I guess!
With regard to home-brewed beer, the federal rules state the production is limited to personal use (includes family/friends/co-workers), thus it cannot be sold. Limit is 100 gallons per calendar year for households with one adult (anyone over 18 for federal law), and 200 gallons per year with households with two or more adults.
Federal law also allows the removal of homebrew from the premises where it was brewed. Some states still restrict the consumption of home brew to the premises where it was brewed.
Here is a link to the rules for California - https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrewing-rights/statutes/California/. Basically the same as feds, but restricts adult to being 21 or older.
