home distilling
Amateur spirit production
Home distilling is the practice of producing distilled spirits—whiskey, vodka, rum, and the like—in a private residence rather than a licensed facility.
The activity is illegal in many jurisdictions regardless of whether the product is sold, though hobbyists argue it's no different from home brewing beer or wine.
