Governor Jim Justice has signed into law legislation that will now officially allow West Virginia residents to distill their own alcohol at home.  If over the age of 21, a family of two can distill up to 10 gallons per year – the amount allowed depends on the size of the household.  Originally, the legislation had a limit of 50 gallons per year for a 2-person household – but that was scaled back by the West Virginia General Assembly.
