Owning distillation equipment is legal.
Knowledge of moonshine production is legal.

At the Federal level, state may differ.

I'm not a lawyer but last I checked simply owning equipment was legal, and TTB.gov website points to legal for non alcohol use.

Edit: Don't forget you can legally distill for use as fuel with an easily obtained permit from The Man.

There are size limits on personal stills, and that is definitely bigger than the limits.

I believe you are right, unless you are making fuel.

I'll never watch the Masters in the same way, knowing this guy lives 2 blocks from the course. A collection of the wealthiest, most pretentious blue-bloods in the Free World have a meeting place to sit and feel superior to the rest of the world, and they built it around the corner from a guy who makes moonshine in his driveway.

Its 1 gallon for fuel or essences.

I hate to be that guy, but it should read "Preserved from Craiglist once the ad is deleted...". It's an advertisement. The short version should be "ad".

With that being typed, thanks for your addition to the thread. The listing will most definitely be deleted in time and your addition makes it possible for people to read it after that fact.

Maybe the guy was a prepper (uh, who decided that he likes boating more than he fears civil anarchy[?]). It would seem a reflux still is a pretty useful thing to have ... for fuel, and to produce something useful as &#8220;currency&#8221;.
True, you&#8217;re supposed to fulfill all the Federal and State requirements, but I think most preppers would point out that if the stuff hits the fan, unfiled paperwork for equipment in a fortified and/or remote or hidden bunker may not be high up on the list of concerns.

Besides, in the meanwhile, it makes and excellent conversation piece at the ol' bug-in to admire over a few homebrews, with its tall copper refux column and thermometer sticking out the top, looking like a cross between something Dr. Suess and Ravi Shenkar dreamed up.

An interesting article ...
