I thought it rather a lot of beer too. It would take me quite some time to reach those volumes.

You're well over the limit mate. You need to down size that monster mash tun of yours

I reckon in Ireland it's easy. As long as you don't sell it you can make as much as you want. Here in Germany you are supposed to register as a home brewer. If you make under 200l per year you send in a form once just stating that you are brewing at home. If you make more than that you are supposed to send in a form, similar to the first, for each brew, up to 400l per year. After that I have no idea! You are also limited to having an original gravity (stamwurze?) of 15 plato or less, or something like that. I can't remember right now...

Was talking to a barman tonight in Muenster's Yorkshire bar (Theakston's and Black Sheep beer readily available in one location here at least) and as a member of CAMRA he's dying to make "real ale" on the premesis. But he said you need a Braumeister to at least sign stuff off to be able to sell it. Kinda puts a dent in my dreams, unless he's wrong <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

<edit>after tomorrow I will have made just over 60 litres already this year. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

If I recall correctly, a similar bill almost made it thru last year in Utah, went ok through the house or senate, but the other branch failed to discuss it so the bill died there. Hopefully it will make it this year and Utah can join the ranks of most of the other states where homebrewing is allowed (it will never pass in Alabama, ever). There are really some nice craft breweries in Utah, especially in Salt Lake City making teriffic beers, even though by law they are required to be 3.2% ABV(I think)or less.

Basic brewing did a podcast on the Utah home brewers last year. A more resent one focused on Mississippi where thry are still trying to open up the law
