Light a cherry bomb in your back yard and watch them chit themselves

This.

Or brew naked.

Invite them for a homebrew, explain what you're doing and they'll change from suspicious to groupies.

 

[Clann]

I am soooooo glad I don't have any neighbors.

 

[D0ug]

Nip it in the bud, invite them over for a beer, or bring a few over to their yard and introduce yourself the next time they're out puttering around. Especially if you plan on being in the neighborhood any length of time. There have been a few poss on here about people being "raided" and having their gear tossed around by the police because someone dropped a dime on them.

Is it right? Is it any of their business? No, but that doesn't really matter, does it?

You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, a couple of hours and a few homebrews early on may just save you from headaches later.

my $0.02

Bring over some ziplock bags full of corn sugar, DME, whole hops and clear rock Belgian candi sugar. Offer to sell them some.

Friendly neighbors are worth the trouble, make the effort!

 

[kman6234]

Sounds like its time for a new fence!

 

[tgmartin000]

That's messed up. I say go with a counter rumor.

I agree! Say they're polygamists, and he was showing all his wives the evil homebrewer!!!

Especially if you brew nekkid.

 

[Mongrel]

Block your windows with tinfoil and have fun with it.

 

[MotorcycleMatt]

Id just light the fence up with my paintball gun when i saw them peeking through. It wouldnt work since i have the chain link fence stuff in my backyard, or maybe that would work better

 

[DoubleAught]

Like this?

 

[strambo]

I agree with the posters that said to visit them and offer them some beer. And do it soon, you don't want to deal with a police raid kinda headache. Not worth the risk since they are already telling everyone you are cooking meth.

 

[SittingDuck]

Yeah, I love all the eff with the neighbors ideas, and that's totally what they deserve. But unless you want to give the cops a tour of your brewery after they report your drug lab, it's best to give them a heads up.

I wouldn't give them any beer though. Nosy b@stards don't deserve any!

 

[edecambra]

Better yet, if it isn't a hassel, brew in your drive way so everyone can see on a saturday afternoon.

+1 ... And wave at them and say.. "Howdy neighbor!"

Phucking clever... Man that's funny!

But giving them a heads up will save you some grief in the long run.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

I dunno, maybe it is the fence. Tear it down. Good fences make good neighbors? Baloney.

When I brew my neighbors say "looks like Doug is thirsty!" and come over for a pint.

 

[jonmohno]

Build a wall,and tell them to leave you and your drug brewing alone.Align the top of the wall with a system of continuous syringes to keep them from climbing it and peeking.

 

[SharonaZamboni]

Invite them over for a beer, but be prepared for visitors every time they see you outside

We bought a second house in PHX, and Mr. Zamboni was convinced that the previous owners had lined the garage with fabric to filter the meth-cooking odors. We talked to the neighbors and it turns out that all five million staples were from the awesome haunted house they hosted every Halloween.

 

[snccoulter]

Polygamy Porter one excellent beer. I use to drink it all the time when I was stationed in UT.
I say call the cops over and offer them a beer or at least let them know what you do and that you fully expect the neighbors to call you in as a meth cooker because they are telling the neighbors that. Then the cops can tell the neighbors to p!ss off.

 

[Trophy_Brew21]

Share some beer man, explain, and make some new friends...or new drug dealers! haha

 

[blizzard]

Report the peeping toms to the cops!

Ok seriously, invite them over, but first call them out while they are spying and After they have a beer say... You guys seem alright, the neighbors warned me you were a bunch of polygamists or pedophiles or something.

+1
that would be epic

 

[Karyyk]

I think I'd almost rather deal with the cops than try to "make nice" with people who've already shown that they're willing to spread a blatant, unfounded lie around your neighborhood. Not the kind of folks I want to be friends with...I'd rather share the beer with off-duty cops.

 

[Gustavo]

Well, I tried talking to them today and the guy just ignored me and went inside. I had the opportunity to talk to the local PD. The officer laughed and said. Yup you in fact have some nosy neighbors. They call the PD at least once a week about suspicious activity. Guess I'm stuck
