Who is brewing on the MLK holiday?

[AnonyBrew]

MLK holiday coming up on Monday, Jan. 18th.

Normally I don't brew back to back weeks, but since there's an extra day coming up for the MLK holiday and SWMBO will be off from work and can watch the kiddos, WHY NOT BREW?

I think I'll brew 10g of Schwarzbier this coming MLK holiday.

Get your starters going & pickup your ingredients if you're also planning to brew on Monday.

tworn between a bitter, dubbel or ginger brown.

my beer pipeline is running dry, need to brew.

 

[Prime]

I'll be brewing a stout. I am trying to develop a pipeline for this year. I will be brewing on Saturday or Sunday though. I don't get Monday off.

 

[Revvy]

If we're not packing my mom for her move the following monday, I might brew something.

Not sure what yet.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I am planning it. Maris Otter/EKG and sugar with a grown culture of Rochefort 6 dregs.

Should be interesting. Haven't decide how far I want to go with the sugar yet. I might invert some and make a syrup.

There is talk of a gigantic brewday here in Atlanta, stay tuned... we're hoping to get a webcam up and running for all you creeps.

 

[electric_beer]

I wish I got MLK day off...

 

[brrman]

I am gonna go with 10 gallons of Rauchbier... Just finished the last bottle from my previous rauchbier and it was so smoooooth at 7 months in the bottle.

 

[KYB]

Me too. The only day the store I work at is closed is Christmas day. I work Mondays so no brewing for me. I'm brewing up 2 batches this week, which will make 6 fermenters going in my room. I'll have to wait until the end of the month to brew up 2 more batches. I don't need to buy any more fermenters, haha.

Schwartzbier???Is that a joke?

Slightly poor taste if it is.

What to name a MLK brew?

 

[sp1365]

Possibly. It depends on if my primary opens up. I have all the ingredients for my MO/WGV Ordinary Bitter SMaSH, but no place to ferment it.

Not a joke. Schwarzbier's been on my to do list for a couple weeks now and I have yet to make one.

RIGHT ON!!!lol. Sorry, but doesn't schwartzbier translate to "black beer"?

I thought it might be a mis-guided joke. Carry on!

What will you call it though?

I mostly copy recipes. This one is from the Nov/Dec 2009 issue of Zymurgy and is already named "Heart of Darkness".

I don't normally use the names, I'll just call it Schwarzbier when people are asking what's on tap.

Technically they are black lagers, and they are fantastic.

 

[motobrewer]

i'm planning a maibock for mlk brew day.

but if it turns out my porter is infected (again), i might not have the heart.

 

[LeeF]

Why not a MiLK STOUT?

 

[A4J]

It's 4-day wknd for me (Friday off + MLK). I have a lot of projects around the house that needs to be completed but I think I'll brew up a SMaSH pale ale sometime.

 

[adx]

I'm going to be making an IPA for SWMBO. The PacMan yeast was shipped out from BMW today. Hopefully, the weather will hold out for it.

 

[Proetus]

gotta work monday but i might squeeze in Denny's Waldo Lake Amber. Depends on if im lazy or not and build the shelf in my stand up temp controlled freezer to hold 2 more fermenters above the ones on the bottom.

 

[moosetav]

anyone doing a MiLK stout?

 

[moosetav]

Why not a MiLK STOUT?

dang...missed that one

 

[cheezydemon3]

Did MLK drink beer? If so , maybe he liked a certain style.

Doubtful, but maybe worth a look.

 

[Jimmies]

People actually get MLK day off?!?!?

 

[cheezydemon3]

............it's a federal holiday..........

 

[Jimmies]

Right, so that means pretty much only federal employees or teachers get the day off. I don't know a single person who has the day off in the working world.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Don't forget financial institutions.

 

[Dalarast]

I have two batches to brew sometime between now and Monday (OFF Monday; but have duty the weekend). I also am going to pick up a Belgium this weekend to brew for my buddy... so I might end up brewing three beers on Monday

But I also have the kids since my wife has training all day.... so maybe might just do two beers (kids help out to add excitement of GET AWAY FROM THE FLAME! NO DON'T SNEEZE NEAR THE BOILING POT OF AWESOMENESS! NO ITS MY BEER! LET THE DOG OUT!!!)

Sure it will go good...

 

[Jimmies]

So now that we've established that the vast minority has the day off, no, I will not be brewing that day.
