Selling Your Brew Creations
Do you ever sell or trade your brew? How much is home brew worth when it comes down to your time and expense?
If you have a business license can you sell your home brew?
Do you have recipes that you sell?
Have any of you made an instruction how to video?
If you have a business license can you sell your home brew?
If it were only that simple, if you wanted to sell your brew you'd be looking at at least $10,000 in federal permits, at least where I live, and that wouldn't take into account zoning and other local laws.
Yup, charging for your beer = not a good idea. I guess if your friends want to pitch on for a batch that's not a big deal, but if you are selling at a party...
State laws, such as those in Kalifornia can also be a big problem. You also have to have a brewing facility that can pass health code inspections and that are permitted as well. It gets to be a pretty big deal.
I don't think using your beer to barter for small items and such would cause too much of a stink, but if you were to collect money for it without the proper licensing, you could run into some pretty big issues.

And trust me, we're tough.
Aaah....please don't start selling your homebrew. We don't need Dateline getting ahold of that story.
In Ohio that would get you into some deep shhhhhtuff.
It's called bootlegging, same as saling whitelighting.
Not a good idea.
Marv.
yeah the ATF would be all over you ass lol not a good idea and if you are thinking of doing it I would not post it here or tell any one that didnt need to know lol.
I have donated a batch of homebrew to charity auctions a couple of times. I offer to brew up a batch of beer for the high bidder, letting them select the style and to participate in the brewing if they care to. I offer to either bottle it for them with a nice label, or to serve it on draft at an event for them. This went for $175 recently. I figure its raising money for a good cause AND spreading the homebrew gospel.
I've also used custom-made beer as an incentive for my team at work for reaching a milestone a couple of times.
When I do this, I do a 10 gal batch, so I still wind up with a keg for me 
Wow, that's brave. The ATF would probably not be happy to hear you're serving beer at charity events, non-profit or not, if you're serving it, it's your liability.
