I have read a lot in here and everything that I have found was a couple years old. I have tried to look on the TTB.com website and the Florida statutes and I have came up empty. I am military so I move around. Where I was previously, it was ok to own one. Does anyone know if it is "Legal to even own a still in Florida".
Thanks in Advance

Clint:
It is not legal to possess an aparatus (still) capable of distilling alcohol in FLA under state or federal law, without a federal permit and state commercial distillling license.
For more specific news you might check the site http://www.hobbydistillersassociation.o ... s-by-state" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
oops - that link appears to be not working now. I've emailed the owner.

Re: Stills in Florida
That is just bullshit. They need to hurry up and legalize.
Re: Stills in Florida
It's a felony to be in possession of a still or still parts in Florida as well as possession of "mash" or "wash".

There is a strong push for changing the laws throughout the US at the Federal level and we have made headway but educating those that vote on laws has been a slow process.ClintDowns wrote:That is just bullshit. They need to hurry up and legalize.

Re: Stills in Florida
Same in my state. You can't have mash, but you can make beer and wine. I guess they decide if you're legal or not based on if they find a still...Rng4 wrote:It's a felony to be in possession of a still or still parts in Florida as well as possession of "mash" or "wash".
Re: Stills in Florida
Has this ever been tested in the courts? I mean, still PARTS!? Any copper tube can be considered a still part.
And isn’t even a coffee percolator capable of distillation ?

Run it, X. Thump it, XX. If you get 1.5, well, I think you can do better!
It's EASY to make good liquor. It's even EASIER to make bad liquor!

It's kind of a "looks like a duck, quacks like a duck" interpretation. Basically context matters.
