Wow... Not that it matters anymore this post is from 2005 but oh my god that is not safe. He certaintly shouldn't be selling the stuff or giving it away or even drinking it for his own health risk. A bathroom should never be used as a brew room. The equipment should never enter the bathroom. The area to brew in should be completely sterile. Ideally a kitchen or a room specifically made for brewing only. Everything used should be cleaned with such chemicals such as bleach and all equipment should be food grade. Selling malt liquor anywheres without a license is worse or as bad as selling illegal drugs.

I am a home brewer who has been brewing since 2000. For us brewing is a family activity with everyone helping in some small way. We brew mostly all grain batches, but we do some kits. I have built all of our equipment. We bottle and keg. Drop us an line, we will be glad to assist with answer or help you find where the answer is. In October 2008 we opened the Brigadoon Brewery & Brew School at the Texas Renaisance Festival. This is a unique brewpub and teaching facility located on the grounds of the Texas Renaissance Festival in Plantersville, Texas. To our knowledge we are the only functioning brewpub located on the grounds of a renaissance festival brewing using both period specific equipment and modern equipment to brew hand crafted ale and then serving it back to the public. Where we offer hands on training and live period appropriate all grain brewing through out the day. Drop by and we will be glad to answer any question you have.
