Home Made Cider Rules Declared Lawful for Personal Use
Attorney General Palmer states that home produced cider remains lawful for personal use even after fermentation turns it intoxicating, opposing bureau guidance that cider must be non intoxicating in fact. He notes Congress intended to prohibit sale but not manufacture for home use, with exception for fermenting liquor. Palmer’s view centers on keeping cider at home for future use without violating the enforcement act.
