I got a letter in the mail from the ATF informing me that they knew that I had purchased materials for distilling and to stop immediately. Also said that they would be paying me a visit in the near future. My wife freaked out and asked me to trash my setup which I did. They never paid me a visit, but the risk/reward balance told me not to chance it.
Apparently, the ATF monitors suppliers of hobbyist on-line stores. It was creepy.
