[Artemisia] Alcohol Judging

[Signy Gydadottir]

<It is not illegal if like was said that it is for personal consumption, 
that means with friends and family that it is not distributed for gains 
in any way, that if you wish to brew, that there is a certain amount 
that can be done.>

Again, just to be absolutely clear -
DISTILLING alcohol is HIGHLY illegal, even for personal consumption. 
Which is why, I tell my Kentucky Lord, NO! Absolutement NON! everytime 
he sees the history channel treatises on distilling.

Brewing is not, within personal consumption limits. Which is why I have 
a lovely fuschia colored 6 gallons of raspberry mead in the 
basement...Hmmm..need to bottle that before the move...

I agree with Ryrd, for our Arts and Sciences, it is important to state 
why things are done differently now - health, government, cost of 
materials, skill, etc. It all lends itself to a better understanding of 
the Art or Science on the part of the judge.
