I think you can legally buy all the stuff you need to make it, but you can't acutally posses the alcohol unless you're over 21...silly, isn't it?
I buy most of my supplies online. They might try to card you in the store, but I'm not sure they can legally do that.

Here you can have alcohol in a private home with your parent's permission before 21 and it's perfectly legal, so you could probably brew it yourself too.

Question for everyone
This is true. I forgot about the differences in state alcohol laws. I need to find out how exactly I can send a bottle of mead to another state. I know that some states you cannot sell to, but I don't know exactly what the rules are for shipping something like that. I need to send my mom a bottle.

You can't send it here, thanks to powerful lobbyists. :(

Well I dont make my own beer, but my uncle makes his own...but he makes Jalapeno Beer.
I use to make Brandy when I lived in Texas many many moons ago. Its been so long ago I dont exactly remember what hard liquor I started out with. I think it was Vodka with crap loads of sugar and what ever dried fruit you wanted for the flavor. I remember putting it in a gallon jar and having to turn it over a coupld of times a day for several weeks. Not to bad of stuff.
Now Ive got a friend in Kentucky that can make some heckacious (is that a word?) shine!........

Jalapeno Beer? That's different. How's the taste?

Well I am not a big beer fan, but am very much a Jalapeno fan....and I think I would just rather have my Jalapeno's straight. He loves it of course but I beg to differ.

I've had chili pepper beer, and I think it was an awful thing to do to both the pepper and the beer. Ugh.
