But, here is where it gets really confuserating.
The ABLE commission who enforce the reg in Title 37 only have jurisdiction over High Point Beer, that is anything over 3.2% ABW (~4% ABV).
Anything between 0.5% to 3.2% ABW is regulated by the State Health Commission, of whom I am on the phone with regulalry, and they could care less. To date, I have found no regulation enforced by State, County, or City Health Code Officials that restricts the brewing of beer at home for personal consumption. Nor have I seen any regulation setting limits to the volume allowed per household.
So, if you like session beers IMO brew away.
Heck, it might even be benificial to have "doctored" brew notes intentionally misrepresenting gravities to show a range below the ABLE commission threshold. If, that is, you are really concerned about a raid.
Reality is, the "rule" is a joke but is kept on the books in case there is a chance that someone is caught moonshining malt based liquors (Scotch?), selling HB, a minor HB'er, or just being a total asshat drunkered to the neighbor hood. Chance are, if you get a suspicious neighbor they are going to poke their noses at some point. So, either keep your brewery out of public view or when someone notices, be polite and acknowledge them with a neighborly hello and a wave, if they approach offer a beer, start with something COLD, light, and as mundane as you've got and you'll most likely settle their suspicions, peak an interest, and make a friend. Just be warned. I fthey live tooo close they may be a hazard to your supply.
