Picked up a case of bottles, 4oz each of simcoe and chinook, and a pound of Crystal 20 for a future brew day.
What did you get from your LHBS today?

My LHBS carries all brands except Wyeast. I'm leaning more towards dry yeasts also, hopefully more strains will be forthcoming. I was getting a lot of White Labs and Wyeast from Northern Brewer, but with the long shipping times, results are less than expected.

Styrian Goldings, Saaz, WLP 530 & WLP 570, and Servomyces. Planning a tripel for BigBrew day.

We'll, they didn't have the 570, so I subbed in WLP 028 Scottish, cuz I didn't have any, and I like a wee Scot now and then. The good news (fingers crossed) is they should open for regular business on Friday, if the governor doesnt squash it.
Decent day here today, spent the morning/early afternoon tilling the veggie garden and getting it ready, then scooted to the most local lhbs and picked up four ounces of Cascade needed for a SMASH I'm going to do Friday using locally sourced floor malted two row pale. Just me and the salesperson, both masked, feeling awkward but we got through it.
That's about the closest I've gotten to anyone since March 6, as I have a pretty decent brewing stock (I could have gotten by subbing Amarillo for the short ounces of Cascade), and The Spousal Unit has become the hunter/gatherer.
She has the masking thing down pat. I look like a bad clown act...
Cheers!

Headed into town in a bit. Don't really need anything, but I'm sure I'll find something!

Good news! My LHBS is now open for regular hours, but only 5 customers at once. Way better than online ordering, because they have way more stuff in the store than is shown on their website.
Today I got 4 cases of 500ml bottles, a couple bags of crown caps, and a dozen hop socks.

2 bags of rahr 2-row, and enough specialty grains and yeast for about 6 months worth of batches...you could say I plan ahead.

Planning ahead is right! @BrewMan13

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?

2 cases new tall necks and 3 packs of dry yeast.

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.

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.

Tonight I'm taking the Mrs. to the LHBS for a 7 course meal with beer pairings. My LHBS is awesome like that, it's a brewery, too.

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.
