Two quotes I found:
"...Interesting, thanks. <br /><br />Two quotes I found:<br /><br />"...our friends at Basic Brewing Radio went directly to the TTB and got a quoted statement from them saying that, for home use without the intent to sell, freezing is not a form of distillation and is therefore not illegal."<br />http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/freeze-distillation-104882/<br /><br />"I found a reference in the Winter 1995 issue of Zymurgy. It had an article by Dennis Davison on Eisbock.<br /><br />A sidebar in the article stated, "According to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms officials, the process of freezing beer and removing ice is called concentrating.

I also believed this for many years. Doing a google search on this will show that it isn't true as long as it isn't done for sale.
