Style Guide Cards

[johnrm]

FYI, typo in the Master Data for 1A
FG 0.998-1.008
ABV 2.8-4.2
IBU 8-12
Everything else is sound AFAIK.
For anyone that has Padraics Spiral bound notes form the first session of the BJCP course, there are a few minor discrepancies in the numbers for Category 1A, 1B, 1C, and 3B. I did not check all of these.

Yes I did pass it

Well done Kellie. Delighted to help.

All I've got to do is sit the exam !

So here is version 3:

Change Log:

Abreviations: Added the Cat Names, added the SRM chart.

Flavours: New sheet! Colour coded as follows:
                Column 1: Green means the estery/fruity flavours - not neccessarily bad!
                                 Red means BAD things usually
                                 Brown means more normal smells associated with the recipe but MAY be faults
                Column 4: Orange indicates temperatutre related cures
                                 Blue indicates Hygiene may be an issue
                                 Green indicates Ingredients quality/freshness may be a problem

Wheels: New Sheet! James' 2 flavour wheels

Master Data: Updated with typos and indications of what we couldn't taste, did taste, and also if what we did taste was not on the BJCP list of examples. Column L highlights what we didn't taste. M was what we did taste but not in BJCP examples

Style Cards: Updated with the Category name and also what was and wasn't tasted (again red highlight)

I attatch the two excel formats, also the pdf on tasting mistakes (highly recommended)

No more updates until after the tasting exam then we shall start to prep for the written exam 

Hint: We are going to need a bigger boat I mean style cards

Last time the print was VERY small on a single A4. Does the lad with the top hat in the pic have a monocle?!
Great work BTW!

Of Course he does. In the NCB we all wear monocles/manicles/testicles or whatever the word is!

He is more of a North County Copyright thing.

Us gentlefolk this side of a muddy river consider the "(c) text ... 18 oh blah"! rather uncouth in these more modern times!

We prefer a registered trade mark!

Hence the old geezer with the eye glass

Just had thought that was genius for learning the styles.

Print out the flash cards and use them to play a game of top trumps!

[johnrm]

Good thinking Batman.

Not Top Trumps, but I suggested this to Will on Saturday, I believe he had something like this in mind.

Lookie here...

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

Ah yeah I saw those ages ago, on the interweb that is, not in shops for obvious reasons.

[Will_D]

My idea was always to laminate them and cut them up like playing cards!

However for a quick reference to help with certain tasks mine will stay whole.

I will be updating them for the written exam with some more important info like:

"Question: Sugest a recipe for this Cat/SubCat!"

Will need some serious data compression

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

Myself, Sbillings and Andrew had a long and animated conversation about this last night at the ICB meet.
We reckon it could be brilliant, not only as a way to learn the styles but also as a way to make money. There were drinks involved mind 

[Ciderhead]

I can supply the TT boxes my customer makes them

[johnrm]

Food grade?

[Ciderhead]

Funnily enough yes and shatter proof which will come on handy when you are in CUH and they are trying to extract with a forceps
