...of distilled spirits for personal consumption. Just don't get caught selling it for cash, or even trading it for "compensation" in the form of goods or services.
I'm sure some of those "hobbyist" sites are on some sort of watchlists by both Federal and State agencies. Some of the same equipment used to produce distilled spirits can also be used to manufacture and/or process illicit drugs.
I purchased all of my physical gear through laboratory equipment suppliers, and if I got "checked", I would show up as a retired research scientist/professor affiliated with a major university, so I would probably get a "pass". I also own livestock, so buying grain(s) would be a common transaction. Now if I started buying 100lb bags of yeast and sugar (and not owning a bakery), or drums of acetone or methanol (commonly used in drug processing)?--that might be a "red flag".
Sorry to hear that you scrapped your set-up. Even if they did visit, and it was there, but only had a capacity of a couple gallons, they would probably just laugh and leave.
