Minnesota bill permits limited home distillation of fruit juices, beer, and spirits for personal use.

Minnesota HF642 allows individuals to ferment fruit juices, brew beer, and distill spirits at home for personal use without a license. The bill permits up to 100 gallons of such beverages per year. These homemade products can be used at organized events, exhibitions, or competitions, but they cannot be sold. The bill also mandates that public tastings must disclose that these beverages are homemade and not state-inspected, and that consumption is at the attendee's own risk.
