May 11, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy police have uncovered a large-scale illicit alcohol operation in Nanango that has allegedly been running for 16 years.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy CIB executed a search warrant at a D\u2019Aguilar Highway residence on Thursday.<\/p>\n

They allegedly located large-scale home brewing equipment consisting of five 2-litre barrels which were fermenting and a further 40 x 750ml bottles of alcohol in various flavours already brewed and bottled.<\/p>\n

A further 40 litres of flavoured alcohol were in various plastic buckets.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Dave Tierney, said police seized 107 exhibits and about 188 litres of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Also seized were a 70kg drum of dextrose, a steel still and associated pipework and flavours.<\/p>\n

A 43-year-old Nanango woman was arrested.<\/p>\n

She allegedly told police she had been supplying alcohol to people in the Nanango area for about 16 years in exchange for work on her property.<\/p>\n

During the search, police also allegedly located a small quantity of cannabis and drug utensils in the possession of a 47-year-old Nanango man.<\/p>\n

Both people will appear in the Nanango Magistrates Court on June 7.<\/p>\n

The woman has been charged with selling liquor without a permit and the man charged with possessing a dangerous drug and drug utensils.<\/p>\n

Snr Sgt Tierney said while it was not illegal to brew beer at home, it was illegal for an individual to sell alcohol – or barter it in exchange for a benefit or services – without a liquor licence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was also illegal to distil spirits without an excise manufacturer’s licence.<\/p>\n

Excise duty must also be paid on all spirits distilled.<\/p>\n

It is not illegal to own a still of five litres or less, but only if it is not being used to distil alcohol.<\/p>\n

Permission must be sought from the Australian Taxation Office to manufacture, move, set-up, sell, buy, import or possess any still over five litres in capacity.<\/p>\n
