That's awesome that you were able to turn a hobby into a career!! My wife and I love homebrewing but don't do it nearly enough! I REALLY wanna try home distilling..... There's just that whole legal issue..... LoL! A friend and fellow homebrewer checked laws in our area and found out you are allowed to distill for fuel purposes (if you have a car that runs on ethanol) so I think we found the loophole! HAHA

The legal aspect is tough. Honestly, you're not the first to think of the fuel loophole. If you do, however, you may get a visit by the Feds. They often visit mail order stills. Truth is most people just build their own stills and operate them in the privacy of their homes in the age old shine tradition of evading the law.

Yeah, I found a ton of vids on YouTube on how to build simple stovetop pot stills! I'm sure at THAT scale it's not even worth their time or manpower to come investigate what you're doing!
