In consulting with our brewing industry representative, the following changes to the RCW should help stimulate the homebrewing movement in Washington and has a good chance of passing. This includes the amendments from the House Commerce and Labor Committee. Senate Bill 5060 Proposed Wording RCW 66.12.010 Wine or beer manufactured for home use. Nothing in this title, other than RCW 66.28.140, applies to wine or beer manufactured in any home for private consumption, and not for sale.
