So what, as long as he was making it for himself and not selling it. My grandfather made the stuff his whole life, there is a limit but a few gallons is no big deal.

I thought it wasn't illegal to make it but to sell it without giving the feds their cut??

Police find a still in a Maplewood apartment

They walked in on Al Gore? Oh, wait, that's a "stiff," not a "still."

So they raided his apt because they were curious?
What did the warrant say; "just curious"?

Can't be. Alcohol is legal.

"Dear Minnesota Police and newspapers,

I was planning on being at home later in the week, but thanks for tipping me off. Good luck finding me. Suckers!

Signed,
The dude in the article."

Brilliant cop work here, just brilliant.

Me and my old drunken roommate(RIP) used to make our own whiskey 20 years ago for about $1.50 a quart.

We called it FEROCIOUS CIRROSIS TOTAL AMNESIA FRONTAL LOBOTOMY WHISKEY.

We used snow to cool down the condenser until we actually ran out of snow and had to steal the neighbors snow in midnight snow raids.

We had the only completely shoveled front yard in North Minneapolis. Right down to green grass.

Far be it for me to defend the Feds here but a still is basically a fuel air bomb in the making.

You guys do know that.

Right?

Beyond the Tax reasons, most of us would not look kindly on having our neighbors creating bombs.

I for one am glad that it's hard to get a permit for a still.  

BTW, I am also a Homebrewer.  

Cheers,

I think it is completely illegal to make your own distilled booze, anywhere in the country. Federal revenoorers you know. Wine and beer is ok, with limites. I have thought about building a still myself, so I researched it a bit.

I built one in Jr. High School 55 years ago.

Even brought it out of storage and cooked up a few batches with my father in law a few years ago.
