Cleaned my Igloo cooler MLT for the first time in a long time. It actually did turn white again.

Kegged my last brew(czech pale lager) I got in before the end of last year. I mashed low but the yeast finished a bit high, it was new kind of malt so not sure if it was the malt or the yeast.

Replaced the filters on my RO filter system and cleaned the housings. The way the first sediment filter looked makes me think I should reconsider drinking the water straight from tap.
 
Just now moved a ton of crafting stuff into the house, from 1.5 weeks of doing nothing but making things from yarn. TL;DR, but my little grain mill table that I cut holes in happens to be the perfect size for my new circular knitting machines; poor Mighty Mill has been sitting in the corner for quite a bit wondering when it gets to come out and play. Just milled grain for tomorrow's brewday (new job now doesn't start until Monday, oh DARN another week off) that I've put off for too long. Bonus of new hobby/obsession; I have seven new warm hats, three new infinity scarves, and a pair of knitted fingerless gloves to keep me warm during brewday tomorrow (not all at the same time, that would be silly).
 
Pulled the PRV for what should be the last time on my latest lager; this one sat on the yeast, cold, for three weeks while I was busy with other things (anyone need a hat?). Later I'll keg the NEIPA that I brewed last weekend. Finally started new job today, gonna like it there after I get used to working again after being off for about 4 weeks.
 
What I did for beer today (on Monday):

Brewed a pilsner ... well, if we're being strict, it's too dark to be a pilsner (it's 5.7 SRM) because I threw a bunch of Vienna malt in the bill ... but it's too hoppy/bitter to be a Vienna, so I'll call it a pilsner anyway. :mug:

Also, I failed to take a picture so I'll have to insert one of an old BIAB batch at mash-in.

Cooking some golden beets for an upcoming ale, and I checked on a small batch of mead that I didn’t think was fermenting (no airlock activity… I thought that perhaps the organic fruit juice I used perhaps has unlisted preservatives, well all is good, :rock: it’s tasty and clear and will make a nice nightcap. Strawberries in secondary here we come.
