Sharing Your Homemade Beer
In the United States, many states place a limit on what you are legally able to do with your homemade beer. The 21st Amendment leaves alcohol regulation to each state, hence the varying regulations. Some states do not allow homemade beer to be consumed outside the home it was made in, while others allow it to be transported for festivals and competitions.

Storing Your Homemade Beer
When bottling your homemade beer, it is important to let the beer sit at room temperature for a couple of weeks. This will help the beer reach a desired level of carbonation. Then, store the beer in a refrigerator. Experts suggest you have a fridge solely for beer. Make sure the beer is bottled and sealed properly to ensure the best carbonation.
