If only this happened more broadly in the courts.

Cooking moonshine is legal in just about every individual state, but it is illegal in the United States. I hope that makes sense.
However, before you run out, buy a still, and start making your own hooch be warned that cooking moonshine is hard work. So I have been told. If you do so here is your go to link. Go with stainless steel. That is all around better than copper.

So kind of like weed? I knew a guy that made moonshine. He claimed he was allowed to possess a small amount legally. Like four quarts per adult in the house.
You’re right about the difficulty. It’s easier to cook meth than make moonshine.

The fact that it was ever illegal is so stupid.
Government being greedy and wanting tax money

In a mass media/humanities class in ninth grade I once gave a presentation, complete with the trifold poster deal and a piece of coiled copper tube that my Pops helped me make, on how to moonshine/distill liquor.
We had to pick a topic from the Foxfire books, and I chose moonshining. True story, got an A+.

In Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942), the Supreme Court examined the Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the US Constitution).
Hobby Distillers Association v. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau is based on an interpretation of two other clauses: (1) the Taxing and Spending Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution), and (2) the Necessary and Proper Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution). The Fifth Circuit did not examine the Commerce Clause because the government chose not to argue this issue on appeal.
It's quite possible that the 1868 federal law banning home alcohol distilleries would pass muster under the Commerce Clause.

Which the Founders grew in their back yards.
Another thing it has in common with distilling.

Anyone can make moonshine. Not everyone makes good moonshine. It’s all about the cuts. Even mediocre mash can have redeeming qualities if the cuts are on point.
