So, trying to drag this one back on topic...
I keep waiting for the day when the local PD pulls into the driveway on a brew day, but so far, they've just cruised on past - sometimes with a friendly wave. So I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear.
Most of my immediate neighbors now know that I brew, though one of them did initially ask why I fried so many turkeys back when I was still brewing with extract. What adds to the fun is that I'm on a corner lot, so I have no true private back yard - I have people walking and driving by pretty regularly. I'll give folks a friendly wave and a hello, but I have yet to have anyone walk up and take a closer look. Lotsa rubber necking as folks drive by, and the occasional horn honking or fist raised out the window - presumably another brewer...
Edit: I keep expecting, as my rig gets a little more elaborate, that some neighbor is going to get suspicious and call in a complaint. The first time I broke out my hoses and camlocks and, especially, my CFC, I figured that would do it. But nope. So I figure it'll be smooth sailing...
