Aha....the ATF.... hadn't thought about them.

You don't actually think that a squad of jack-booted ATF thugs are going to bust down my apartment
door, guns blazing, because I've said I have an ice-cube tray full of distilling mead or wine in
my freezer, do you??  I mean, I've heard that there were full-blown paranoids out there, but give
me a break.  Can anyone produce any news reports or other references that prove that the ATF has
ever done something like that??  If so, maybe I'll take my beer out of the freezer....until then,
I'm not even going to justify this 'threat' with anything more than cynical disbelief.

Good luck to you, of course..... On the one hand, I certainly hope that you are able to convince
the massive U.S. government to let you distill a few ounces of liquor in your home freezer.... on
the other hand, I'm really hoping that our government has much, much more important things to
worry about.... like tracking down real criminals.


Heck, my Sourdough Starter has alcohol sitting on top of it as I type this.... maybe I should
apply for some kind of permit??
