[TexLaw]

Just for the record, I'm a chronic liar with a vivid imagination and nothing I say can be believed...ever.

So, do you expect us to believe that sort of statement from a chronic liar???

I would have to look but I think my last count was 170 gallons this year. Will be doing my first 25 gall batch next weekend do I guess I'll be done after that.

I'm not even close to going illegal. I've only brewed 3 times since the beginning of July Stupid new job eating up all my brewing time....

I'm wondering WHO IS GOING ILLEGAL in '09?
I really wanted to hit 200 this year, but it ain't gonna happen....
Next Year...I want to be BierMuncher Quantity. The sad fact is, I drink 99.987% of the beer I brew, and some 40 gallons of what I've made this year is wine and mead that's still in carboys. Next Year I want some friends to help drink this stuff up! Also those friends will be "Brewing" the beer that I'll be storing, and that will help me not get in trouble with the Law.

If you demand proof about the tax bill, and they show you a copy of your post here, that ought to pucker you up in a big hurry.

Don't think the "friend" bit even comes close to getting you out from under the IRS, either. The next question will be "so, who's your friend?" Pick your poison.

Guys, I'm just trying to give you a little free advice. If you want to brag about what you or some "friend" is doing, just don't do it in writing. And, remember, this is all in writing!

Brew strong, brew long, but keep your friggin' head in the game.

Dear Sirs(IRS guys): I brewed 80 gallons this year and plan to stop at 99
BM: Your friend needs to host a party to deplete the supplies, charge a small fee to defray cost and pay the IRS
I agree w/ Tex, IRS has more power than any other organization well except the vice president, Cheney. All they have to do is bill you.

By the way...I'm not sure what the hubbub is all about.
I was talking ounces.

 

[Saccharomyces]

I'll be your friend.

Count me in too.

Heck, I need someone to drink more of MY beer. I can't brew often enough because I have filled the pipeline!

I can only dream of the day that I will have a full pipe line. Need to brew more!!!

 

[dudasaj]

It's 100/200 gals per year.... Most of mine is left over from 2007/2008.... I insist.

My exact sitation. I know it sounds like a "waaah, waaaah" complaint but I really love to brew and I have a LOT of beer in my basement.

Really? Wow.

American and Canadians are so similar, yet different in some peculiar ways.

For example, you all seem to like your guns and vigorously protect your right to bear arms. Up here, we have silly, silly firearms laws that do nothing, but Canadians are OK with that.

But down there, you have limits on your homebrew. Up here, we like our beer and vigorously protect the right to defend our beer! (To the best of my knowledge, we have no such law in Canada.)

Biermuncher, if you keep brewing like that, you are going to have to brew at my house soon! (You are welcome to leave the beer here, though -- those pesky borders are getting harder and harder to sneak alcohol across! )

I'm going to combine the two schools of thought and name my brewery:

"RIGHT TO BEER ARMS" or "2ND AMENDMENT BREWERY"

Is the law in reference to production or possession?

I'd like to brew a few batches of RIS and BarleyWine to lay down for a few years. Do those batches count against my 100/200 G yearly total or do they not factor into the equation? I'm thinking about those rich folks with wine cellars of 1000+ bottles that span 10 - 20 years.

What if I want to age wine? A good wine can and should be aged a year or more before drinking. Is storing home brewed products is the total cumulative from the previous year?

Enquirering minds want to know.

Not that it matters, I mash in a 2.5G cooler.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Me NEVER.

I will never have more than 200 gallons of Wine or Cider in stock at any time.
