I keep forgetting it. But then I do not have a SOH, so I am my own SOH (Significant Own Half).

Have seen Speaker Of the House.

But on topic: some people in my neigbourhood and most of my friends know what I am doing. But most are not looselipped and do not mention names.
But than again: our government/taxcollectors/customs are not very active on this subject.
They have been some decennia ago, when there were large shiners in the south of the Netherlands, but nowadays it is more a hobby like beer- or winemaking.

You know there's a big MoonShining site on FACEBOOK that would make most of us here toes just curl up. Pictures, blabbing, recipes, bragging -- all right there in the clear , most under an actual name.

Kinda scary.

In my case it is my affectionate appellation for the love of my life . SOH is the Speaker Of the (my)House . She rules the living quarters and does not interfere with what I do in my shop .

I guess that depends on the dynamics of your relationship - "Arfur Daley" used the term "'Er indoors" :)

Some good people, but also some yahoos.

That's where I found all my pictures of stills using mason jars as thumpers.

Also where they seem obsessed with controlling stills via PIDs and 'who can get the highest proof' appears to be the equivalent of a dick swinging contest...

Would it be called moonshiners private group?
There's a company that actually sells those mason jar thumpers. And quite a few groups made by still builders that know zero about distilling.

It could well be. I had to leave all the groups with the word "Moonshine" in the title... seems to attract the "act now, think later" crowd.
