I know "proper" distilling (for human consumption) is illegal without thousands of dollars in permits and inspections, but is it the production of strong liquor that's illegal, or the use of a still? I ask specifically because I've been thinking about ice distilling.

It struck me the other day: the colors for The Hulk are exactly out of phase with the classic Steel & Straw palette. Is that deliberate, do you suppose?
