Home brew & selling

[eightbitraptor]

I had a couple of gents at work who used to give me a few quid for some juice occasionally. Enough to cover costs. But I was always making it for myself rather than for sale. So they had to lump it with what I vapes.

I have managed to convert all of them to mixing their own now. They all saw how easy and cheap it was using one shots. And they liked what I was making at home easily and cheaply.

So I consider that a net win tbh.

Are you sure it's cat hair?

Hard to tell. Either one is grey.

The new regs are a good thing for consumers, as @oldhippydude says, it's about meeting expectations and the real crime here is passing off/counterfeiting.
Selling homebrew publicly on facebook or any social media site is covered under the new regs, that's liable to prosecution. We wait to see how effectively it'll be policed.

Selling homebrew to friends is technically illegal, it's a black market. Depending on scale it might interest HMRC, it probably won't. A test case by Trading Standards would be interesting because a. it would show an amazing inability to prioritise and b. it would probably be brought without an injured party just to make an example of someone. Effective?

Maybe Trading Standards will visit our village fete this Summer and prosecute the Mums selling jam?

I'm only playing @MrTeaTime but thanks for the kind offer. I have a sneaky suspicion, based off the name, that I know what it is, and if I'm right I have a load steeping away as we speak anyway [emoji16]

Those black marketeers at the Womens Institute, it is not just jam with them, scones, cakes, the lot and not a hygiene certificate between the lot of them.

Jam.....it's the gateway preserve!
You never know where you're going to end up....marmalade?, or even worse, Lemon Curd!

Lime pickle ... I found a jar of that at the back of a cupboard that was 11 years old and still had the raffle ticket number attached ... and it was cracking!
