I've been interested in making some brew for a while, and have what I think would be a great name for it... but I was wondering, whats the legality in selling homebrews? And... I see that you can order receipe packages online.. are those sellable?
few noob questions

You can sell the ingredients...you just can't sell the finished beer.

Not if that someone wants to continue owning it.Vinter said:

But then there's all the local authority stuff and food safety to consider.
Get caught selling it and they like to lock you up.

In Oregon the permits to brew & sell ale start at $500/year and go up from there. No retail seller can sell any ale they didn't buy from a distributor, unless they have a brewpub license and make it themselves.
