In my family we've made our own sauerkraut - shred cabbage, mix with canning salt, ferment in a big wooden pickel barrel (covered with cheesecloth and a weighted wooden disc) until tart, then can.
We also make our own sausage - trim and grind up pork shoulder, mix with crushed chilis, garlic, and fennel, (add salt if you want) and stuff into natural hog casings.
Is there a statute of limitations if a couple of youths were making distilled spirits (applejack, potato vodka, etc.,) as an add-on to a science project in elementary school?
How about if they were selling it to an older brother, who in turn peddled it out of his locker at a Catholic high school?
Would it make any difference if the father of one of the youths was a police officer?
Just curious about this (ahem!) hypothetical situation which - if it occured at all - would have taken place over three decades ago, several states away.
