We have a plum tree leaning over our yard with maybe a few hundred pounds of plums, I've never seen this thing so burdened.

I made a five gallon batch of plum wine, and damn if it doesn't taste like wine you'd buy at at the store.

This reminded me that I don't really care for wine (what did I expect? Boons Farm?).

I just distilled a gallon of it and I'm sure I'll like it better than the wine.

I don't want to set up a full still cause it's a pain and my still is garbage so I'm using a gallon sized water distiller with an adjustable thermostat.

Honestly, for the home distiller, it's almost legal.

If someone got drunk on your hooch and ran over a baby it'd be your ass. but if you aren't selling it odds are that no one is going to bother you.
