What type of OAK???

[bubba]

That isn't an allergy, it's a hangover. You need to add a drop or two of water to that scotch.

hahaha!
No, I actually become more sober.

Just found out today that I have an allergy to Red Oak.

unless the question is too personal, how exactly did you find this out? and how do you get exposed to it?

just curious

Sorry about your allergy but at the same time kinda relieved... I thought this was gonna turn into one heck of a Do It Yourself thread!

Interesting thought. Is it even legal to set up one's own distillery?

In the USA? Yes. You start running into trouble when you sell it, though. As long as you make it for your own personal use, and the use of your friends, you can make your own booze until you turn green.

it's more or less the same in Canada.
but up here you can also rent your distilling equipment to others so they can make there own beer, wine or hard liquor.

There are actually limits. I don't know about distilled products, but you are leagally only supposed to make 50 gallons of beer (don't know how anyone would know, but it is the law).

50 gallon eh? I wonder how many kilts the F-H.C.A.G. could make before that's all gone?

In the states you can legally make your own moonshine from your own still if you want to as long as you pay the tax on what you sell from it. The problem that the moonshiners had with the G-Men was that they didn't give Uncle Sugar his cut.
