State Representative Mac McCutcheon is trying to get a bill passed that would let people brew up to 15 gallons of beer, wine, cider or mead every three months.

It's a change that McCutcheon says is long overdue.

Last year some Republican lawmakers opposed a similar bill on religious grounds.

The legislation prohibits making stronger types of alcohol, including bourbon, whiskey and vodka.

Currently Alabama and Mississippi are the only states where homebrewing is illegal.
