NSW Law/s on ‘homebrew spirits’ ?

posted on December 14, 2009 in home brewing supplies

Is it legal in NSW, Aus to make homebrew vodka for home consumption?

It’s legal to homebrew beer for home consumption and you obviously can’t sell anything you brew but I just would like to know if I can make a huge supply of homebrew vodka for myself to last a while to avoid the governments new tax (they claimed we’re all binge drinkers – mind you this was based on an online survey of a small number of participants whose identities were never verified)

So is it legal?

Would you ever do it?
PS. Yes I am aware people can go blind if its too strong.. it can even kill you… yadda yadda yadda… and frankly don’t give a damn
I’ve searched Lawlink which usually has EVERYTHING but no luck..
Links would be great!
Does anyone know the maximum penalty for homebrew-ing spirits for home consumption?
Is it an indictable offense?

it is only against the law if you get caught
go for it mate

Beer Facts and some hilarious jokes....?

  3. I don’t think you can distill, but you can definitely make your own spirits.
