Called mine to have them get in some beechwood smoked 2row and some wine yeast I’m looking for. Hopefully will pick up by the end of next week. Does your local shop do special orders for you?
What did you get from your LHBS today?

Picked up a special order of oak smoked wheat malt and a few other things. BTW, the malt was considerably lower in price compared to NB etc.

Two cases of new long necks, 2 pounds of beech smoked malt and a couple other odds and ends.
Yes. And after my second time special ordering Munton's DME, it's on his shelf. Not much, but enough to fill my usual order.
If you've got a good LHBS, buy as much as you can from them.
SO4, SO5, for ciders, Omega Hot Head yeast for a session Mead. Along with a large hops basket repurposed for fruit in a wide mouth fermenter.

Hot Head for mead, have you used it before? If so, I guess you like the results.
Omega Hot Head Yeast _ OLY 51
Yes have used it on eleven 4.5 gallon batches to date.
Ferments an OG of 1.065 to 1.075 equal parts juice & water with 6 to 9 pounds honey depending on the sugars in the juice at 88 Deg F. With TOSNA 3.0 nutrient calculation all up front. Typically ferments to 1.010 in 7 to 10 days remove from heat rack and allow to finish in secondary for 20 to 30 days. Then balance with wine tannin, acid and vanilla to taste. Keg and carb.
No fusels nice clean ferment. Drinkable in less than 30 days and really good after 3 months.
Edit - Takes fruit flavors well that match your juice.

That’s great! We have three left on Long Island. One sells wine cellar equipment and the other two are hardware stores (one barely has a few shelves).
I'd hate to have to drive there for a few pounds of grain, but I hear there's a killer not so LHBS in Jersey.

Stopped in for Belgian Pilsner malt, but not in stock. They did have hops I need and I did pick up some dry yeast. Got a case of tall necks for competition entries and top notch service bringing it to the car.
