Limited home liquor distillation permission
This bill permits Minnesotans to make small quantities of alcohol at home for personal or family use, without needing a license. It allows up to 100 gallons of distilled spirits per year for home consumption or for sharing at organized events like tastings, but prohibits selling the homemade alcohol. The bill requires clear labeling at events stating the product is homemade, not inspected by the state, and for use only by those over 21. It also repeals a previous law that treated finding an unauthorized still as proof of illegal production. This change directly affects residents who distill alcohol at home, making the activity legal under specific, limited conditions.
