I've been brewing apple wine in my apartment for a few months now. But I've started enough gallon jugs up that my apartment complex noticed it when they were changing the air filters. Then they informed me that they weren't going to allow me to continue brewing.
Now I live in Texas and my brewing is in compliance with Texas law. I don't produce more than 200 gallons and I don't sell anything that I brew. So there's nothing illegal about what I'm doing.
So my question is: Does an apartment complex have the right to stop you from homebrewing if you're not breaking any laws? For me, this seems as ridiculous as saying that I'm not allowed to bake pizza in my own home. It seems illegal to restrict me from making my own food and drink, but I'm not sure where to search for legality so I haven't debated it with the complex yet. Does anybody know if it's legal or whether I can find out if it's legal to restrict me?
