There are several legal moonshine available at the liquor stores here in NC.

Junior Johnson has one.

The drunk sidekick is hilarious and worth watching but, it is total bs. Nowhere near the "reality" they want us to think it is. He's not making shine for one thing, it's just water coming out of the worm or he'd be in jail already. Virginia ATF is totally pissed about the way they are portrayed, they say they didn't sign up to look like buffoons. Lots of other stuff jumps out (for one, making shine out of bananas is crazy. Bananas might make good flavoring but straight sugar and nutrients would be way cheaper and yield more alcohol. No way a moonshiner would use bananas). There are lots of craft distilleries popping up these days. Most will sell a version of their "white dog" which is about as close as you can get to mooonshine and still be legal.

Some states actually allow one to make a certain amount for personal use. Federal law allows similar. Just check with your State.

No, not moonshine, just beer and wine. Making distilled spirits is against federal and state law in all states.

Guess I should have added "for private citizens". It's legal if you've got a commercial license but they are expensive and require lots of other hoops be jumped thru.

just one example, there are plenty more, do your homework. One can also get a permit to distill for operating farm machinery.

be aware if someone buys these units, the ATF&E gets his customer list whenever they like and probably check it regular.

OK, I'll backtrack on the state law comment but here's federal guidance which supersedes state.

Check this website. You can distill ethanol for fuel (doesn't have to be a farm) if you pull the proper permits but you will be shot down if you try to distill it for drinking.

There are a few others sellers too. I believe they sell them to make essential oils and ethanol fuel but they don't try to hide the fact that liquor is what they're really for.
