I am a former Home Brewer, still part owner of a Brewery but sold all of my brewing equipment and got an 8 gallon pot still, anyone else?
Just my thoughts, but probably not a good venue to discuss activities that are potentially illegal in the US.

I have to agree on that.

But as far as the fed goes its still illegal. Just like weed for all the states who have legalized. The feds can still bust ya. If they cant get their tax money they just arent happy.
[h1]State Overview state laws[/h1]
Not only is it legal to own a still in the state of Missouri, it is legal to produce up to 200 gallons per year per household of moonshine for personal use and not for sale. This also means basic usage of a still for distilling water, vinegar, essential oils is also legal.
I could not find details on transportation of distilled spirits for personal use but because it is illegal to sell moonshine it could be likely they could consider transporting moonshine to be an attempt to sell it so it is advised to not transport bottles of moonshine since the fine is $10,000 dollars for the first offense, $25,000 for the second, and $50,000 for the third offense.
