Smoke.............might wanna kill off that top link to the ATF regs?

I just clicked on it and got some message that I was trying to access a restricted area of the ATF site? :hair:

Looks as if the original link addy/path must have changed since this was posted?

DONE!
Here's the direct link to the law...
http://www.atf.treas.gov/alcohol/info/faq/genalcohol.htm#g1

" Spirits
You cannot produce spirits for beverage purposes without paying taxes and without prior approval of paperwork to operate a distilled spirits plant. [See 26 U.S.C. 5601 & 5602 for some of the criminal penalties.] There are numerous requirements that must be met that make it impractical to produce spirits for personal or beverage use. Some of these requirements are paying special tax, filing an extensive application, filing a bond, providing adequate equipment to measure spirits, providing suitable tanks and pipelines, providing a separate building (other than a dwelling) and maintaining detailed records, and filing reports. All of these requirements are listed in 27 CFR Part 19.

Spirits may be produced for nonbeverage purposes for fuel use only without payment of tax, but you also must file an application, receive ATF's approval, and follow requirements, such as construction, use, records and reports. "
