Not a Single “Corona Clone”?
Maybe it’s still too soon for humor.
Working mostly remotely for two months. I am very busy helping figure out all sorts of logistics for work at this point. After things settle I hope to have time to brew, garden, burn brush etc. My first brew will be an English Pale ale.
I’m one of those tasked with turning traditional college courses into on-line courses in a hurry- campus is closed, wife is working from home and our two young kids are home too (what could possible go wrong here?)
To cope/celebrate and 'cuz I want to, I’m finally brewing a couple of recipes from Michael Dawson’s “Mash Maker” book- the alt and the wild rice mild. Cheers to you Mr. Dawson- I miss your on-line presence but am looking forward to tasting these beers!
I had planned to be busy with the South Regionals judging in Tampa this weekend and next, but since it is cancelled, I have time to brew. Unfortunately the surgery on my left hand will make it difficult, so maybe next weekend.
I have been working this week (I own a car repair shop), but it’s been so quiet that I come into contact with very few people. The commute sure is nice.
I’m stuck at home. Shelter in place for Illinois. My chance to brew as all the kids activities have come to a halt. Saison and stout hopefully tomorrow
I’m back to work for 3 days starting Sunday as I’m considered ‘essential’. Found time to brew a Vienna Lager today. Hoping to brew a pandemic porter soon as after Tuesday I’m off for 20 days. Just read that my LHBS here in NorCal is still open as their interpretation is that they are a food ingredient supplier and thus exempt from the statewide mandate of closing down non essential businesses. They’re only allowing 1 patron in the shop at a time and are encouraging people to order online and they will do curbside pick up. I’m hoping to head over tomorrow to get what I need so I’ll be able to brew the porter next week if they end up shutting down for a while.
Great time to try bottle spunding since people are around to catch the ferment at the right time.
I’m recently retired with about two years of “honey-do’s” to complete in my spare time. Tomorrow, however, I plan on brewing a relatively uncommon beer; I’ll be brewing an Amber Kellerbier . My LHBS has shifted to a “shipping only” supplier. But fortunately I was able to get all my supplies beforehand.

Just got told to work from home next week and expect that we will be doing that for a while! Luckier than a lot, still working. I have my forth batch in my small 3 gal ferment-er now, and it looks as if it is doing well, stalled out after 2 days, warmed it a couple of degrees and it finished up. been in six days today, bubbler stopped yesterday. will give it another week then bottle. my last batch had some awful SOUR flavor, and isn’t good. First two were good, third bad and forth tasted great as wort, will see!
Thinking of ordering supplies on line

A local brewery has a Bo Pils that has been great. That and the talk on the other thread about a dark Czech pils made me want to try my hand at making one. So, tomorrow I making a Czech premium lager. Sorry Annie—no decoction. 
Who’s your LHBS?
¡¡¡Coronapocalypse FTW!!!
Imperial Mexican Lager doesn’t sound good to me…give me style suggestions, rationale appreciated [emoji16]
I’m a clinician in a locked juvenile facility in CO, considered essential. But my ticker and lovely wife said stay home. We’ll see whether that move and a letter from my doctor equals continued paychecks or the dole. Never collected unemployment in my life - strange times my friends, but times to brew! I have a bunch of raw and malted wheat from a sour project. Maybe ¡¡¡CoronapocalypseFTW!!! will be a wheat wine
Don’t want to get them in trouble…they’re here in the Sacramento area. They were open this morning and I got what I needed for next week’s brew just in case they decide to shut down for a bit.
Local brewery was told it was a “beverage manufacturer” and thus an essential business. They’re doing curbside pickup while they have bottles/crowlers.
I’ve been working from home since 3/26. My company mandated WFH on 3/27. During a previous job, I worked from home as a consultant so this is nothing new for me. In Columbus, OH and the surrounding area, many breweries and the three primary growler shops are staying open for can/crowler/growler pickup. Two are doing home delivery: Nocterra in Powell and Dankhouse in Newark. My favorite bottle shop Perfect Pour Beverage Company is classified as an essential business so they are staying open. 
Brewing-wise:
I did a Simcoe/Citra IPA that is currently fermenting/dry hopping. Bottling will be on Saturday.
I am going to do a chocolate stout next.
Unfortunately, my local home-brew supply store closed today so I am going to use Great Fermentations to get my ingredients.
visited my LHBS over the weekend… says business is up… looks like some folks are panic brewing.
I picked up 15-5g jugs of RO. Saw it coming and got it 2 weeks ago. My came home from work and said, you better get what we need, this is going to be bad. That to me was brewing water.
We start a stay at home order today here in the Kansas City area. All counties in the metro KC area. My wife has been stocking up on essentials the past 2 weeks but we are not hoarding. We have been checking in on neighbors and family and all sharing items. Several breweries have lined up on the same street to sell for drive-up sales. They take a order on a tablet and bring the cans to the cars. Also a couple of distilleries are making sanitizer and are doing the same with drive-up sales. Stay safe and stay home if you can.
I started working from home this week. I expect it will continue for another few weeks. I’m planning to brew a barleywine for starters. I’m planning a kettle sour and cream ale late April or May for a summer beers. I have a plenty of grain and hops to make several more batches so will probably do a IPA/NEIPA at somepoint. I got a order coming in this week so I’ll be set on yeast.
