Funny, my LHBS decided to close Mondays, giving the same excuse. Maybe I should apply for a job there?Homebrew shop is closed until Tuesday. Staffing shortages due to covid
What are you doing with homebrew today?

they can be very finicky, you do need the lid loose so it can suck air in or it wont work
My lhbs (Windsor) used to be closed on Sunday, but last summer they decided to be open 7 days a week. Yesterday I took advantage of that.
Picked up grains for the 4th run of my On Tap golden ale and the Honey Brown lager. Brew days coming up this week! I'm thinking Thur/Fri. Will probably be streaming them on Twitch
Strike water on for a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. First brew to ferment with the conical.
The new FF 7.9G. Got the stand too, so made a lifting handle that uses the two hanger bolts that hooks on the wall mounts. Sanitized and waiting for yummy goodness of Chocolate Oatmeal Stout.
And done, including cleanup. Cleanup is the worst part of this hobby.
It can be all I can say is an inline pump makes quick work of all in one's....
As @Minibari said add some PBW and recirc that sucker nice and hot and then a nice fresh rinse and if your feeling the need an phosphoric Acid rinse and shes good to go.

I have about 12 pounds of pilsner 3 years old, the taste from that bag is weak in flavor so I decided to use it for making starters, brewing a 5 gallon batch of wort now
Transferred Frosty Pale Ale to kegs:

Super nice looking!
I cleaned the keg that housed a Dunkel and transferred a Vienna Lager. Little sample was better than I expected. So I filled my little 1.75 gallon keg and put in the fridge where it will sit until the next zoom, at least. I have a pint or so in the fermentation keg that continues to sit in my 40-45 degree garage and I’ll drink that by Sunday since I need the keg and tilt for my next brew day
Where's the liquid line on the recieving keg going Frosty you purging another keg or?
I'm filling it via the liquid line and the gas line has a check ball in a sight glass so you can shut off the transfer before it blows beer on the ceiling. I fill one keg with star san and transfer it to the other with CO2 and then out of the last one so they're filled with CO2 when I'm done.
