Posted: 11:36 AM- Brewing your own beer at home might not require a license in the future.
A bill making its way through the Legislature would repeal the licensing requirement for small-time home brewers.
It currently costs hundreds of dollars in license and application fees to legally homebrew beer, although few people pay those fees like they're supposed to.
House Bill 425 would allow homebrewers to brew 100 gallons of beer a year without needing a license.
It passed in the House Wednesday 55 to 13. It will now be considered in the Senate.
