With a permit, it's legal to make. There are many distillation permits out there. Does anyone know where I can legally buy some? My ex-pat friend in London raves about it. From reading online, you really can't make it in the South, the temps in the winter have to get very very sub-zero to really freeze-distill an amount of alcohol out of it that is any higher than a staunch apfelwein. And it's not legal as a homebrewer, even if I had a freezer that went to 50 below zero. The few things I've found online to buy some are unreliable, like corn whiskey with apple concentrate, or glorified Schnapps. Thanks in advance.
