Stockpiling

I didn't expect people to go mad stockpiling for this lockdown.

Largely that seemed to be the case. No great surprises.

Until I went to my local HBS for some yeast.

OMG. The wall normally covered by all manner of wine kits lay (often 3 deep) BARE!
The opposite wall of beer kits the same.

The owner is expecting pallets of stock in the next few days and has lists of pre-ordered items.

We did our fortnightly shop today. No queue outside and full shelves, but thats because all the second home owners and holiday makers have fecked off back to where they belong. It's been like a bank holiday here on the coast most days since lock down ended. Has anyone seen the recent publication called, Where's Dom.? Its a spoof of Where's Wally. You have to spot Dom in various locations around the country :lol:

Likewise.
I have stocks of bread, whisky and Bio-ferm wine yeasts.
I don't like to think of people sitting at home without something fizzing.
Get in touch if you can't find yeast elsewhere.
