RE: It's not 100% "illegal"

What percent illegal is it? You can legally make beer and wine for personal consumption, but distilling is illegal.

For me it was just a fun experiment and educational. My best tasting version was around 80 proof. I bottled it in qt. sized Mason jars with a cinnamon stick in each jar. I gave away most of it to friends. It was a novelty and in no way an attempt to make serious booze.

I made wine years ago in 5 gal. batches. I had a couple of decent batches, but I had more batches that were undrinkable. My FIL made wine, and for special occasions, we would both bring a bottle of our recent best effort. It was fun for a while.
