Just give it a few more years , my friend . You will find that there gets to be less and less leakage at the lower point and that becomes an issue all of it's own .

Most yall just ain't ever got it.
It like being pregnant. You either are or you ain't.
Ain't no little bit.
All that crap about not caring about nothing but
finished product is bull crap . Just a talkin point.
they could give a dam less if you kill yourself. It all
about money.
How the he'll are still builders ain't held accountable.
Sounds like entrapment to me. I don't care if it illegal
for you to have it just give me your money name
and address.

Yes, but there has to be some limit that would be a minimum amount for there to be a chance of prosecution on that, and not just be used as a charge to drop for an incentive to get the offender to go for a plea bargain on some other charges.

They find a 1/2 pint of hooch, you think they would even try for intent to distribute? Manufacturing, probably. .....Intent to distribute, I don't think so.
"Yes sir, Mr. ATF/TTB/ABC Agent (take your pick), I fully intended to distribute this here 1/2 pint on this very evening, .....I was gonna distribute it right to my liver!"

You make a point. But, could be construed as such just to stack charges as bargaining chips.

It's hard for me to remember the days when 8 oz. of likker was all I had around me.

If you have product in know commercial bottles that looks like the know product, how can they do anything?, unless you have 100bottles then I could see a problem. The only way for them to know is to test it, alot of dollars to do that!

They have the distillery do it for them.
just to show they can

So I'm tole

Makes me wonder, if you were to age your hooch in a jd bottle with the label on it, and say there's a wood chip in it. Are they going to say it's home distilled or can you say you're aging jd and get away with it? That's if they haven't find your still yet. Or maybe they have and they're trying to get you for intent to distribute.

They'd run it through a spectrometer, compared to real JD, and maybe slap you with something for trying to distribute under false pretense.
