I've been checking every grocery store and pharmacy that I enter since March for a bottle of isopropyl alcohol. Today, I found one in my local Wegmans. Actually, there were three bottles on the shelf, but I only took one.
I’m still covered whatever may come. At least as far as the yeast goes.Toilet paper has returned to being readily available here and yeast is now in stores more often than not.
and there is still a bunch of beer.
was there a shortage due to people doing more baking at home?

Do you bake? About a year or two ago I waded into bread territory. I wasted a lot of flour before I got the hang of it and now I can bake bread to eat, not to use for building houses.I’m still covered whatever may come. At least as far as the yeast goes.
Yes, I’ve been baking breads for a long time. I got typecast so I was always the one designated to do breads for the Dept. X-mas dinners. The hard part was having to work with instant yeast, which was all you could get (when you could) when this started. I was used to traditional methods. But I found the no-knead recipes that used only 1/4 teaspoon of instant yeast could yield some very nice results, once I got the hang of dealing with that type of high hydration dough.Do you bake?

Well, looking at that bread it's no wonder you are typecast as the bring the bread guy! Beautiful loaves.Yes, I’ve been baking breads for a long time.
