    1. Malt beverages may be produced by a person in his or her private residence subject to the limitations provided in this Code section.
    2. The total quantity of malt beverages that may be produced in any private residence shall be as follows:
      1. Not more than 100 gallons per calendar year if there is only one person of legal drinking age living in such residence; or
      2. Not more than 200 gallons per calendar year if there are two or more persons of legal drinking age living in such residence;

        provided, however, that no more than 50 gallons shall be produced in a 90 day period.

  1. Except as provided for in subsections (d) and (e) of this Code section, malt beverages produced in compliance with this Code section may only be consumed at the residence where produced. Such malt beverages may only be consumed by persons of legal drinking age.
  2. Malt beverages produced under the provisions of this Code section may be removed from the residence where produced for transportation and delivery by the producer for use at home-brew special events in a quantity not to exceed 25 gallons, provided that such malt beverages are securely sealed in one or more containers and clearly labeled with the following information:
    1. The name of the producer;
    2. The address of the residence at which it was produced;
    3. The name and address of the home-brew special event to which it is being transported; and
    4. The permit number under which the home-brew special event is being held.

      If transported in a motor vehicle, the securely sealed containers shall be placed in a locked glove compartment, a locked trunk, or the area behind the last upright seat of a motor vehicle that is not equipped with a trunk.

  3. Malt beverages produced under the provisions of this Code section may be removed from the residence where produced for transportation and delivery by the producer to a location not licensed under this title and for which a permit has not been issued pursuant to subsection (e) of this Code section; provided that not more than 128 ounces of such malt beverages produced in the same residence shall be transported at one time; and provided, further, that such malt beverages shall be securely sealed in one or more containers and clearly labeled with the following information:
    1. The name of the producer; and

Notwithstanding any other provision of this title to the contrary, in all counties and municipalities in which the sale of malt beverages is lawful, the local governing authority may issue a home-brew special event permit for the holding of home-brew special events, including contests, tastings, and judgings.
