Sounds like a good idea to me!
I'm not planning on trying to take donations for home brew. Just kind of playing devil's advocate. I think as long as you aren't being a total idiot about it no one's going to come knocking down your door and dragging you off to prison.
Yeah it's illegal although as posted above the Feds probably have bigger fish to fry. It's also stupid to bring that kind of attention to yourself but you knew that already.

I agree no one is going to be knocking down your door. Just saying that if they do, the donation argument isn't going to hold up.

selling wort and yeast is what every lhbs does. the wort generally is concentrated down to a syrup or powder, though it doesn't have to be.
what they don't sell are fermented beverages containing alcohol, however.

I really don't care, since I'm not planning on trying to barter my beer for anything, and if I was, I wouldn't post an ad on Craigslist. And even if I did, I wouldn't expect the ATF to beat down my door over it.
I'm sure this guy was loaded when he posted this ad. Probably sounded like win win at the time. And what type of person would actually take him up on it? Yeah I want to drink some foreign liquid made by some random weird dude on craigslist.:cross:

There is a difference here. The samples are in fact free. You bought food products from them, not beer. Most Federal Laws don't prohibit giving away alcoholic products to someone over 21.
Trade or sales, they do.
Now, had your LHBS been taking HomeBrew in trade for supplies tehre would be a different issue.
It's not illeagal to sell Malta Goya, or Liquid Malt concentrate. No alcohol, you see the difference? However, the Health Deapartment would regulate the storage of those products.
Yep.
$34.95 plus shipping, actually.
