HB 5566 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE DISTILLATION OF LIMITED QUANTITIES OF SPIRITS FOR PERSONAL USE.

This bill allows individuals to distill up to five gallons of spirits annually without needing a special permit, provided the alcohol does not exceed 180 proof and is used only for personal consumption, family use, or guests. It directly affects residents who wish to produce small quantities of homemade spirits for non-commercial purposes. Key provisions include strict limits on volume (5 gallons), alcohol strength (max 180 proof), and usage (personal/family/guest only). The bill does not permit commercial sales or production beyond these specified limits.
