It's amusing, I've been contacted by two separate reporters regarding this bill. I checked it out after seeing that same article posted above, and as I suspected, the bill has nothing to do with homebrewing. It has to do with changing Agriculture Dept. regulations on food/beverage production, specifically beer and fruit juice.
I did note that the regulations require that commercially produced beer be bottled/canned on automated equipment. So small brewers doing specialty brews can't legally hand fill bottles, like a lot of brewers do with 750 ml bottles and such for their specialty beers.
Cheers!
