Homebrewing rises during pandemic

Post by Beer-lord »

Not any surprise to me. I've also noticed some prices online have gone up but it will hopefully be temporary.

With my job leading a medical group, I have been pretty much dealing with Covid-19 all day, every day. Thankfully in Indy, we have not been overwhelmed. Lots of very sick patients but everyone is the system has pulled together in an incredible way. Small victories as some patients recover and go home.I am so proud of all my front line doctors and nurses. Anyway, finally today I have had time to brew a rye IPA. Halfway through the boil now.
