No worries, my Lexus has a farm plate, no one will suspect at thing 8)
There appears to be an inverse relationship between tangible distilling problems and possible drinking problems...

Told the guy at the feed mill dam horse got so excited knocked the last bucket over, was a hell of a mess and my wife's friend asked me to pick her up some while I was here. He said once they were filling the molasses up and not paying attention and it overflowed so he understood my mess !

I was asked "what are you working on" at the plumbing supply store when buying 2" fittings and I told them I was working on a heated water supply for my chickens.

When asked what I'm making/canning with all this sugar/mason jars I use my wife for an excuse. "Hell if I know, I'm just the delivery boy. She doesn't let me in the kitchen"

It depends how far along in the shopping process I am am if they can actually help me complete my list! So far a few simple grins and one guy at Depot had his own still who I set straight later why he should be using some copper instead of his straight SSteel POCrap!!
Today I found 50 Lbs of feed molasses for $25 CDN at Thrasher's in Belleville ON, which isn't such a bad deal! The older guy never said a thing nor thankfully asked further even after I prepped him if they allways stocked it! I basically took it, paid for it and ran!
Cheers!

Never grin. Always scowl. They don't want to know and never will. A smile can get you a long way but the skowl will keep you safe. I noticed that when I answered some questions they asked more. So I jus started being short and I was questions free.
