"Anyone get the post from Hillbilly Stills regarding a TTB visit they had? Anyone read or heard this and thoughts? Not really concerned as mine hasn't been used in quite some time due to work, life, other priorities, etc. Also, has anyone gotten a personal visit?



""Have you heard the news about the TTB? They are on the move and going to each and every maker of distillation equipment. They have been here and this is what we, Hillbilly Stills, had to do and what we were told:
First of all we had to turn over names and serial numbers of each still we have sold. We will have to do this every quarter. For us, that was over 3,000 records. Secondly, it is not illegal to own a distillation column. What makes it illegal is what you do with your column. Now, there is no way we can speculate on what they are going to do and for us say 'what they may do is...' is so unfair to you. There is no need to worry or stress over this. If you are honest with yourself, haven't you kinda known that they could do something with all the shows on making moonshine airing? Here at HBS, we are not stressing or worrying about them and sleep very well each and every night. If there was something to be concerned about please believe us and know we would give every single one of you a heads up."""

If the feds got the contact information of 3000 of your customers. They likely got large numbers of customers of your competition too. Are we to assume that we may get a knock on the door soon?
