Legal Moonshine Stills

for the purpose of making consumable alcohol?
I am told New Zealand, Bolivia, and Sweden are legal.

Indeed.
I expect there aren't many people who are willing to incriminate
themselves online, even if they're distilling only for their own
consumption.

I think most Scandinavian countries are, actually. Home distillation
seems very popular in Holland too.

The person who told me Bolivia got back to me and said
it wasn't legal, just unenforced. The same appears to
be true for Sweden and some other western European
countries.
So far I have confirmed New Zealand and Peru. But neither
is a place I'd choose to live.

It's amazing how many there are! Even worse, most of them are
clueless.

Turkey is a Moslem country!

As is Lebanon, where Arak is enjoyed quite extensively. Again, that's
just my recollection based on hearsay.

It's legal most everwhere to make you own spirits as long as you don't
sell it... right?

Not really. And it's definitely very illegal everywhere in the US, ever
since the resistance to that 1791 excise tax.
You _can_ distill fuel alcohol but there are all sorts of requirements
on how long it can sit before being denatured and how it has to be denatured.
Write your congressman and complain.

That resistance is known as the Whiskey Rebellion. In 1794, at the
age of 62, George Washington took command of the State militias of
several States, rode into battle against the rebellion, and put it down.

And Bubba, if you ain't keeping good records of your ethanol production,
someone sees you sipping from the tank, or your woman rats you out,
you gonna be havin three meals a day in the federal slammer.

Weather's even worse than it is here in Virginia, though. Likewise it
gets cold in Holland.
Interestingly, though, we're starting to see an increasing number of
small-scale legal distilleries both in Virginia and West Virginia.
Thumbs up on both the Copper Fox rye and the Smooth Ambler "White Whiskey."
Learning all the time
Have you : Ever BEEN to New Zealand ?
If so where when :)

I spent a month in New Zealand in July-August of 2001 - Auckland,
New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Kaikoura, and
Christchurch. We loved Christchurch. As long as you stay near
the coast and don't go too far south, it's like a mild South Carolina
winter.

Since September 2010 the GPS co-ordinates for Christchurch have been
changing on just about a daily basis. They've been having "muchos
terramotos". It used to be very pretty before it all started to fall down
though....

Lots of equipment with no prices. Was hoping to see a still in
or behind someone's house!
In the States, one can get a permit to distill Ethanol. So I'd
like to know more about your Express Purifier - Condenser including
price and an estimate of shipping to zip code 10110 (New York City).
