Did you know that brewing beer at home for personal use was illegal until 1979. In 1920 brewing beer was made illegal, period. There was a "mistake" in the laws the repealed Prohibition and that mistake allowed wine to made at home but not beer. One of the better actions by President Jimmy Carter was to repeal the federal restrictions on home brewing in February 1979.
So now adults over twenty one years of age are permitted to brew "not more than one hundred gallons of beer in a year". The beer brewed must be for personal use and it is illegal to sell home brew.
