Unless it's one of those little beer kits, I'd need a licence. I drink a lot more than what those things produce.

Dad tries to make beer here and then and gets loads of stuff. He normally ends up with 2 kegs of the stuff which is always to weak for him.

and its perfectly legal to make it like that.

btw that Sunday alcohol buying thing is just plain stupid

I've always wanted to try it but quit drinking before I got around to it. It's legal to make here as well.

Well if your not buying booze then you'll be in church, right? Or more likely stock up saturday and then go to church drunk, there's a plan that makes alot more sense! :lol:

church? hardly anyone goes to church round here. part from old biddies. I've only been when my old primary school dragged us there, which i think is a tad discriminatory to other religions but oh well.

Yeah, the sunday laws are commonly in rural bumfuck in the US though. The highly religious counties, good if your a Morman or other religious freakazoid. Bad for the rest of us.

Here are some more dumb Pennsylvannia laws...yes, the state I live in.
It is contrary to Pennsylvania law to discharge a gun, cannon, revolver or other explosive weapon at a wedding.
It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel.
It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors.
Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue.
Here's a site w/ all sorts of dumb US Laws that are probably old and probably had a purpose at one point but are still on the books today: http://www.dumblaws.com/

Here's a nice UK one (they have "international" pages as well):
All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy

And, remind me not to bring my deuce-five to the next wedding I attend.

I believe "rocket signal" = "flare" :-D..yes, fireworks are illegal to use...but not illegal to sell. As opposed to NJ where I believe they're legal to use but illegal to sell. (Mikey, confirmation on this?) Either way, there are quite a few fireworks stores along the PA/NJ Border.

that UK law is damned stupid. Arm our some of our youths with a longbow and there'll be an epidemic of skewered people.

Tsu - there is an upper limit that is rather larger than the output of a Mr. Beer, as long as you're not selling it, that doesn't require a license.

And if you do need one... well, it ain't a crime if you don't get caught...

That reminds me, I have to put down a hefeweize for July and August.

rednecks + booze = weapons discharge, whether there's a law or not.

I just meant the fact that the law includes cannons. Reminds me of the time a cop asked me if I had any knives, guns, or grenades on me.

" Yeah, officer. I always carry grenades when I leave the house; here's one... wait, where's the pin?"

EDIT: No one got the "deuce-five" reference?

I don't. Do you mean you carry a .25 Mustang in your sock?
