Making Spirits & Liqueurs

NOTE: In New Zealand, it is legal to operate a still at home for personal consumption. This allows our Kiwi friends to make full strength liqueurs & spirits by running the liquor made through a home distilling unit and then adding the flavouring essences.

Local Laws

In USA and Canada it is illegal in most states to own a still but a Water Distillation unit is readily available from your Sears catalogue. 
  

In Australia it is legal to own a still under 5 litre capacity as long as it is for either either water purification or essential oil extraction. 
In New Zealand, Switzerland and Italy it is legal to own a still, and 25 litre stills appear the most common size. 
Please note that in Australia if you purchase a 3 in 1 fermenter, a Condenser and a thermometer then you have purchased the equivalent of a 25 litre still. Australian retailers are aware of this and will try to prevent you breaking the law in this manner. If you are intent on this course of action then make sure you make your purchases over two visits.
