None are interested in setting minimum order quantities, but they'd desperately prefer that you buy 2-3 vials at a time instead of 1 vial at a time because again, that shipping is most of the work for them.

We've had some casual conversations about this with most brewers over the last few days and there's two overwhelmingly common themes: 1. There's no mass panic buying of large order quatites. 2. Yeah, 1 vial is the most common order we get and we'd really appreciate it if that changed.

A minimum order quantity of 2 used to be the norm for brewers, I don't think it'd be a bad idea to move back in that direction.

You should always have a vial you're using and a fresh untouched one ready to use next. You then look to order a new 2-3 vials once the last one gets opened, not when it's nearly empty. This obviously isn't hindsight 2020 for the folks in a bad spot now, but advice for everyone going forwards.

Something we need to get serious about with the recent stock issues is that absolutely no one should be buying individual vials. Brewing vials is easy, the shipping is the hard part. You put far less strain on brewers by buying 3 vials every 2 years than buying 1 vial every 9 months.
