summa   10 #14 Posted September 29, 2010 Just make some up and give a couple of bottles to friends, if they like it they could always give you the money for the ingredients and your troubles, and then if their friends tried it and liked it they could do the same, just the same as if you were making a few cupcakes!

Treatment   10 #16 Posted September 29, 2010 You'd need a license to sell alcohol and have to pay the DUTY. Are you distilling? I think you need a license for that too.  For God's sake don't anyone try distilling, unless they know exactly what they are doing. One error and you can end up with something akin to anti freeze. People have died this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HeadingNorth   11 #20 Posted September 29, 2010 From a practical point of view, the police probably don't much care if you are handing out bottles of home-made gin to your friends and they are paying you a few quid as thanks; but if you were hoping to sell it from a car-boot stall or such like, that really wouldn't be a good idea.
